Congress seeks to void Treasury rules on COVID State and Local Recovery Funds.

Congress is attempting to nullify a specific rule issued by the Department of the Treasury concerning the use of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF). If this resolution is enacted, the federal guidance from November 2023 on how state and local governments must use these pandemic relief funds will be voided. This change could affect how local authorities manage and allocate remaining federal money for community projects and services.
Key points
The resolution aims to disapprove and void a specific Treasury Department rule concerning the use of federal COVID relief funds by state and local governments.
If the rule is voided, the specific federal restrictions on how local governments spend the remaining recovery funds will be removed, potentially altering local spending priorities.
