A legislative sponsor must be identified through a letter submitted by that legislator�s office to the department and state budget director containing the name of the grant recipient, the intended amount of the grant, a certification from that legislator that the grant is for a public purpose, and specific citation of the section and subsection of the public act that authorizes the grant, as applicable.

(e) A claw-back provision that allows the department of treasury to recoup or otherwise collect any funds that are declined, unspent, or otherwise misused.

(f) The signed legislative sponsorship letter required under subsection (3), incorporated into the grant agreement and included as an appendix or attachment.

(6) A grant recipient shall respond to all reasonable information requests from the department related to grant expenditures and retain grant records for not less than 7 years, and the grant may be subject to monitoring, site visits, and audits as determined by the department. The grant agreement required under this section must include signed assurance by the chief executive officer or other executive officer of the grant recipient that the requirements of this subsection will be met.

(7) The grant recipient shall expend all funds awarded and complete all projects not later than September 30, 2029. If at that time any unexpended funds remain, the grant recipient shall return those funds to the state treasury. If a grant recipient does not provide information sufficient to execute a grant agreement not later than June 1, 2025, the department shall return funds associated with the grant to the state treasury.

(8) Any funds that are granted to a state department are appropriated in that department for the purpose of the intended grant.

(9) The state budget director may, on a case-by-case basis, extend the deadline in subsection (7) on request by a grant recipient.

The department shall include in the report the most comprehensive information the department has available at the time of posting for grants awarded.

(11) If the state budget office determines that it is more efficient for the state budget office to compile all affected departments� information and post a report of the compiled information rather than the report required under subsection (10) being posted by individual departments, the state budget office may compile that information across all affected departments and post the compiled report and any updates on the same time schedule as identified in subsection (10).

(12) As applicable, the legislative sponsor of a grant described in subsection (1) shall not sponsor a grant, or ask another legislator to sponsor a grant, if there is a conflict of interest related to the grant recipient.
