Bill overview
This bill aims to ensure that states, local governments, territories, and tribes fully utilize the coronavirus relief funds they received under the CARES Act before they can spend any of the funds provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. It essentially creates a condition where states must first use all of their existing CARES Act money before they can access new funds from the American Rescue Plan. The goal is to prioritize the spending of existing funds and prevent a duplication of efforts. This legislation is intended to provide greater accountability and transparency in the distribution and use of these federal funds.
