SJRES 57 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of the Treasury relating to "Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds".

Senate Joint Resolution 57 seeks congressional disapproval of a Treasury Department rule that set guidelines for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, a program distributing over $350 billion to state and local governments to address pandemic-related economic impacts. The rule, published in November 2023 (88 Fed. Reg. 80584), outlined specific requirements for fund usage. If enacted, this resolution would nullify the rule, preventing it from taking effect and requiring the Treasury to revert to prior administrative guidelines for distributing the funds. The resolution directly affects how the Treasury manages the program and how states and localities access pandemic recovery funds.
