Special District Grant Accessibility Act moves to the Senate
In a major milestone for the nation's special districts, the House passed the Special District Grant Accessibility Act and has now been introduced in the Senate. S. 4673 was sponsored by Senators Sinema (I-AZ) and Cornyn (R-TX). Thank you!
The Special District Grant Accessibility Act embodies NSDC's longstanding legislative objective of codifying in federal law a first-ever, formal definition of special district. In addition to establishing such a definition, the law will direct federal agencies to recognize special districts as local governments for the purpose of ensuring that districts are eligible to receive appropriate forms of federal assistance, including funding and resources through key grant programs.
