This resolve requires the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) to analyze the past 20 years of state funding to nonprofit corporations in the State and deliver a report by December 6, 2023 that ranks them in 5-year increments by amounts received and lists the percentage per state budget disbursed to nonprofits each year. The report must be completed using existing budgeted resources.
