HB 1678 - DIGEST

Provides that a political subdivision may choose to comply with a requirement of any nature imposed by the state, or any instrumentality of the state, if the total state funds provided to the political subdivision that may be expended or are required to be expended by the political subdivision to meet the requirement are not sufficient to pay for all the costs of meeting the requirement.

Provides that, if these state moneys are not sufficient, the requirement loses its mandatory nature and becomes a recommendation or option for the political subdivision and a penalty may not be imposed on the political subdivision for failing to comply with the requirement.
