Relating to: withholding state payments to the federal government if federal aid to the state is withheld under certain circumstances. (FE)

AB 345 requires the state treasurer to withhold state payments to the federal government if federal aid to the state is unlawfully withheld (e.g., via presidential order or court violation). Specifically, the state must calculate the lost federal aid amount, submit a detailed report within 60 days, and withhold matching state payments up to that loss amount over the next year. Once federal aid is restored, the withheld state funds must be paid to the federal government. The bill directly affects state treasury operations and federal budget coordination, with no impact on federal aid recipients.
