Bill overview
This bill, the Compact of Free Association Host Communities Support Act, aims to help communities in the U.S. that host citizens from the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau. It allows the federal government to waive matching funds requirements for grants to these communities and potentially reduce or waive debts owed to the U.S. government. To receive these benefits, hosting jurisdictions must report on the economic impacts they’ve experienced due to receiving these ‘Compact migrants’ from 2004 to 2021, with a limit of $100 million annually.
