     SECTION 3. Upon the transfer of any function of a department or agency to another

department or agency, the Governor is hereby authorized by means of executive order to transfer

or reallocate, in whole or in part, the appropriations and the full-time equivalent limits affected

thereby; provided, however, in accordance with Rhode Island General Law, Section 42-6-5, when

the duties or administrative functions of government are designated by law to be performed within

a particular department or agency, no transfer of duties or functions and no re-allocation, in whole

or part, or appropriations and full-time equivalent positions to any other department or agency shall

be authorized.

     SECTION 4. From the appropriation for contingency shall be paid such sums as may be

required at the discretion of the Governor to fund expenditures for which appropriations may not

exist. Such contingency funds may also be used for expenditures in the several departments and

agencies where appropriations are insufficient, or where such requirements are due to unforeseen

conditions or are non-recurring items of an unusual nature. Said appropriations may also be used

for the payment of bills incurred due to emergencies or to any offense against public peace and

a businesslike manner, promote efficient use of services by making agencies pay the full costs

associated with providing the services, and allocate the costs of central administrative services

across all fund types, so that federal and other non-general fund programs share in the costs of

general government support. The controller is authorized to reimburse these accounts for the cost

of work or services performed for any other department or agency subject to the following

expenditure limitations:

     SECTION 3. Section 35-1.1-5 of the General Laws in Chapter 35-1.1 entitled, "Office of

Management and Budget" is hereby amended to read as follows:

     35-1.1-5. Federal grants management.

     (a) The controller shall be responsible for managing federal grant applications; providing

administrative assistance to agencies regarding reporting requirements; providing technical

assistance; and approving agreements with federal agencies pursuant to § 35-1-1. The controller

shall:

     (1) Establish state goals and objectives for maximizing the utilization of federal aid

programs;

     (2) Ensure that the state establishes and maintains statewide federally mandated grants

management processes and procedures as mandated by the federal Office of Management and

Budget;

     (3) Promulgate procedures and guidelines for all state departments, agencies, advisory

councils, instrumentalities of the state, and public higher education institutions covering

applications for federal grants;

     (4) Require, upon request, any state department, agency, advisory council, instrumentality

of the state, or public higher education institution receiving a grant of money from the federal

government to submit a report to the controller of expenditures and program measures for the fiscal

period in question;

     (5) Ensure state departments and agencies adhere to the requirements of § 42-41-5

regarding legislative appropriation authority and delegation thereof;

     (6) Manage and oversee the disbursements of federal funds in accordance with § 35-6-42;

     (7) Prepare the statewide cost allocation plan and serve as the monitoring agency to ensure

that state departments and agencies are working within the guidelines contained in the plan; and

     (8) Provide technical assistance to agencies to ensure resolution and closure of all single

state audit findings and recommendations made by the auditor general related to federal funding.

     (b) The division of accounts and control shall serve as the state clearinghouse for purposes

of coordinating federal grants, aid, and assistance applied for and/or received by any state

department, agency, advisory council, or instrumentality of the state. Any state department, agency,

advisory council, or instrumentality of the state applying for federal funds, aids, loans, or grants

shall file a summary notification of the intended application with the controller.

     (1) When as a condition to receiving federal funds, the state is required to match the federal

funds, a statement shall be filed with the notice of intent or summary of the application stating:

     (i) The amount and source of state funds needed for matching purposes;

     (ii) The length of time the matching funds shall be required;

     (iii) The growth of the program;

     (iv) How the program will be evaluated;

     (v) What action will be necessary should the federal funds be canceled, curtailed, or

restricted; and

     (vi) Any other financial and program management data required by the office or by law.

     (2) Except as otherwise required, any application submitted by an executive agency for

federal funds, aids, loans, or grants which will require state matching or replacement funds at the

time of application or at any time in the future, must be approved by the director of the office of

management and budget, or his or her designated agents, prior to its filing with the appropriate

federal agency. Any application submitted by an executive agency for federal funds, aids, loans, or

grants which will require state matching or replacement funds at the time of application or at any

time in the future, when funds have not been appropriated for that express purpose, must be

approved by the general assembly in accordance with § 42-41-5. When the general assembly is not

in session, the application shall be reported to and reviewed by the director pursuant to rules and

regulations promulgated by the director.

     (3) When any federal funds, aids, loans, or grants are received by any state department,

agency, advisory council, or instrumentality of the state, a report of the amount of funds received

shall be filed with the office; and this report shall specify the amount of funds that would reimburse

an agency for indirect costs, as provided for under federal requirements.

     (4) The controller may refuse to issue approval for the disbursement of any state or federal

funds from the state treasury as the result of any application that is not approved as provided by

this section, or in regard to which the statement or reports required by this section were not filed.

     (5) The controller shall be responsible for the orderly administration of this section and for

issuing the appropriate guidelines and regulations from each source of funds used.

     (c) There is hereby created in the general fund and housed within the budget of the

department of administration a restricted receipt account entitled "Grants Management

Administration." This account shall be used to fund centralized services relating to managing

federal grant applications; providing administrative assistance to agencies regarding reporting

requirements; providing technical assistance; approving agreements with federal agencies pursuant

to § 35-1-1; and, may include costs associated with the development, implementation, and ongoing

operation of a grants management information technology system. Every state department and

agency, as defined in R.I. General Laws § 35-1-4, which receives federal assistance funds shall set

aside an amount of the funds received equal to a percentage as determined annually by the state

controller multiplied by federal funds received. The state controller shall determine this rate

annually in proportion with budgeted expenditures for uses consistent with the purpose of this

subsection within the department of administration. For federal awards in response to the COVID-

19 pandemic and subsequent stimulus awards, there is hereby authorized an additional assessment

which shall be deposited into the restricted receipt account established by this subsection and shall

be equal to a uniform percentage of the amount of stimulus and other awards received, excluding

Medicaid, associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent stimulus acts. The state

controller shall calculate the rate of this additional assessment, not to exceed one percent (1%) of

the total awards received during a fiscal year, in proportion with budgeted expenditures necessary

to finance the planning, oversight, compliance, and reporting functions within the department of

administration related to federal awards issued in response to the pandemic and subsequent stimulus

awards in addition to the costs of planning, development, and implementation of a grants

management information technology system. For the additional assessment related to federal

awards issued in response to the pandemic and subsequent stimulus awards no funds shall be

deposited into the restricted receipt account after December 31, 2026. All funds set aside and

designated to be used for grants management shall be deposited into the restricted receipt account

established in this subsection.

     Prior to any deposits being made into the restricted receipt account established by this

subsection and thereafter prior to the commencement of each fiscal year, the state controller shall

provide a report to the director of administration and the chairpersons of the house and senate

finance committees that includes the rate and calculation thereof for the following fiscal year.

     SECTION 4. Section 35-3-20 of the General Laws in Chapter 35-3 entitled "State Budget"

is hereby amended to read as follows:

     35-3-20. State budget reserve and cash stabilization account.

     (a) There is hereby created within the general fund a state budget reserve and cash

stabilization account, which shall be administered by the state controller and which shall be used

solely for the purpose of providing such sums as may be appropriated to fund any unanticipated

general revenue deficit caused by a general revenue shortfall.

      (b) In carrying out the provisions of § 35-3-20.1, the state controller shall, based on that

fiscal years estimate, transfer the amounts needed to fund cash requirements during the fiscal year;

the transfer shall be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year in order to conform to the requirements of

§ 35-3-20.1. To the extent that funds so transferred are not needed by the Rhode Island Capital Plan

fund the funds may be loaned back to the general fund.
