To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 90005

The section lets the Secretary give grants for spending on completed, ongoing or new activities that took place on or after January 20, 2021. Each State applying must say what it wants the money for and how it plans to allocate it, and the Secretary must begin accepting applications within 90 days of enactment. Nothing in the subsection lets a State or local government exercise immigration or border authorities reserved to the federal government, and the agency may use no more than 1 percent for administering the grants.

What the document actually says

“The Secretary of Homeland Security may provide grants from the fund established by paragraph (1) to State agencies and units of local governments for expenditures made for completed, ongoing, or new activities, in accordance with law, that occurred on or after January 20, 2021.”

That sentence, in plain words

The Secretary may pay states and local bodies. It may cover work already done. That work must date from January 20, 2021 or later.

What this is about

Work still going on counts. So does new work. The agency must start taking claims within 90 days.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
