noncustodial federal monies; appropriation
HB 2148 establishes rules for Arizona to handle federal funds that the state can spend with flexibility (like block grants or broad-purpose funds). It requires state agencies to track these funds separately in accounting systems and ensures the legislature retains control over how they are used. The bill mandates that appropriations specify spending purposes and allows lump-sum budgets for unexpected funds, with agency proposals reviewed by the legislative budget committee. If actual funds received differ from appropriations, spending is adjusted proportionally to match the available amount.
