Report on Grant Consolidation Authority for Puerto Rico Act
Introduced Jan 21, 2025 by Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report to Congress regarding the consolidation of certain grant programs currently available to insular areas and the suitability of such consolidation for Puerto Rico. (At present, such consolidation allows insular areas to apply for a consolidated grant in lieu of filing an individual application for each eligible grant program.)
Further, any official of Puerto Rico from whom the GAO seeks information for purposes of that report must promptly and comprehensively respond to such request for information.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
