30 days to list no-bid spending and federal disaster money.
The bill requires the governor to send the legislature a report within 30 days of declaring or renewing a state of disaster. The report must list spending on no-bid contracts made during the disaster and all federal disaster money received, where it went, and any state matching money. This gives lawmakers a regular paper trail on emergency spending, starting with disaster orders issued on or after September 1, 2025.
