Equal Federal Funding for District of Columbia

This act aims to ensure that the District of Columbia is treated equally to states and local governments when it comes to accessing federal funds. This means residents of the District of Columbia can expect the same funding opportunities for public programs and services as citizens in other states, potentially improving the quality of life in the region.
Key points
The District of Columbia will be treated as a state or local government for federal funding eligibility.
The changes will take effect on October 1, 2026, allowing time to prepare for the new funding rules.
