Special District Fairness and Accessibility Act
This bill requires federal agencies to clarify how they recognize special districts (like water, fire, or school districts operating separately from cities or counties) as eligible for federal grants. It mandates the OMB Director to issue guidance within 180 days, directing agencies to adopt this standard within one year for all federal financial assistance programs. The bill ensures special districts - defined as state-created entities with budgetary autonomy for specific services - can consistently access existing federal funding they currently face barriers to. A report on agency implementation must be submitted to Congress two years after enactment.
