S 2014 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Special District Fairness and Accessibility Act

This bill requires federal agencies to clarify how they treat special districts (like water, fire, or sanitation districts with budget autonomy) as eligible recipients for federal grants and funding. Within 180 days of enactment, the OMB Director must issue guidance defining this eligibility, and agencies must implement the guidance within one year. Special districts directly affected include those created by state law to perform specific governmental functions separately from general local governments. The bill mandates agencies to align their policies with this guidance and report on implementation to Congress within two years.
