Bill overview
This bill aims to grant the District of Columbia the same federal funding rights as a state. Currently, the District receives federal funds differently than states, limiting its access to certain programs. By amending existing law, this bill would treat the District of Columbia as if it were a state for the purpose of determining eligibility for federal funds and using those funds. The changes would take effect on October 1, 2026.
