This bill amends existing law to treat the District of Columbia as a State for federal funding eligibility purposes.

  • Title 1, United States Code

    Sec. 9. District of Columbia treated as State and political subdivision of State or unit of local government "In determining eligibility for Federal funds or relating to the use of Federal funds, the District of Columbia shall be treated as a State and as any political subdivision of a State or unit of local government, unless otherwise provided.".

    This addition establishes that the District of Columbia should be considered equivalent to a State for the purpose of receiving federal funding.

  • Title 1, United States Code

    "9. District of Columbia treated as State and political subdivision of State or unit of local government.".
