Yesterday, the full House Committee on Appropriations voted along party lines to approve the fiscal year (FY) 2021 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies (T-HUD) bill. A summary of the HUD provisions can be found here. The full committee added the following amendments to the version passed out of the T-HUD subcommittee:
- Price #1 – The manager’s amendment makes technical and noncontroversial changes to the bill and report. The amendment was adopted by voice vote.
- Price #2 – The amendment requires the use of masks and enhanced sanitation measures on airlines, Amtrak and in large transit agencies. The amendment was adopted by voice vote.
- Watson Coleman – The amendment amends Sec. 239 in the bill to allow certain CDBG-DR grantees to request relief from recaptures for overpayments. The amendment was adopted by voice vote.
The bill now heads to the House floor for consideration. From there, the bill will be combined with a few other appropriation committee bills (minibus) or all of the other 11 appropriations subcommittee bills (omnibus). The House has 24 working days to pass FY 2021 appropriations before the September 30 deadline.
