AI Summary

  • Expands the California Prompt Payment Act's definition of "grant" to include signed agreements between state agencies and nonprofit organizations, and removes the previous $500,000 contract limit for nonprofits to receive late payment penalties

  • Raises the threshold for state agencies to dispute invoices based on delivery discrepancies, requiring the discrepancy to exceed $250 or 5% of the invoice amount (whichever is less) before it constitutes "reasonable cause" for dispute

  • Requires state agencies administering grant programs to reimburse grantees for indirect costs at one of four rates chosen by the grantee: their federally negotiated rate, the federal de minimis rate, an existing state rate, or a proposed rate for those without an existing state rate

  • Applies the indirect cost reimbursement requirements to all state-administered grant programs regardless of whether funding comes from state, federal, or combined sources

  • Mandates that state agencies report late payment penalties paid to nonprofit organizations separately in their annual reports to the Director of General Services
