Easier Federal Funding Access for Special Districts

This new law aims to simplify access to federal financial aid for "special districts," which are local entities performing specific public functions. This means more local organizations will be able to apply for funds, potentially leading to improved community services like water management or transportation.
Key points
The Act requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue guidance clarifying how special districts are recognized as local governments for federal financial assistance.
Federal agencies will have one year to adjust their policies and procedures to allow special districts to apply for grants, loans, and other forms of support.
Within two years of the Act's enactment, OMB will report on agency implementation of the new guidance, ensuring transparency and accountability.
