The office is required to provide the joint budget committee with a yearly performance report, which includes the information the state controller provides to the secretary.The act also modifies existing federal funds reporting requirements so that, like the reporting on the money from the recipient funds, the joint budget committee receives annual reports instead of quarterly reports.
