MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 25, 2022 09:56 AM
From: Representative Seth M. Grove
To: All House members
Subject: Commonwealth Grant Accountability and Transparency Act
 
This proposed legislation will create the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act.

It requires the establishment of uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for State and federal pass-through awards to non-federal entities.

Provides that the Governor's Office of Budget shall adopt the federal Uniform Guidance of 2 CFR 200.

Provides for the following:
  1. Adoption of federal rules applicable to grants;
  2. Conflicts of interest;
  3. Mandatory disclosures;
  4. Supplemental rules;
  5. Applicability of the Act;
  6. State grant-making agency responsibilities;
  7. Responsibilities of the Grant Accountability and Transparency Unit;
  8. Audit requirements;
  9. Review date;
  10. State agency implementation;
  11. State program exceptions; and
  12. An annual report that demonstrates the efficiencies, cost savings, and reduction in fraud, waste, and abuse as a result of the implementation of the Act.

In 2022, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania should have uniform statutory processes in place to ensure we have accountability and transparency in grant awards.
