Dollars under this law's emergency funds
Confirmed from the official recordAgencies report committing $3,058,167.26 under this law's emergency funds, and paying out $3,058,167.26, through August 31, 2026. The amount set aside is $0.00.
The Treasury gives a fund code to money that a named law sets aside. Agencies report what they commit and what they pay out under a code. A commitment is a signed contract, a grant award or a benefit payment. The figures of two codes are never added together here. The saved copy of the Treasury's record is not complete yet.
Where this comes from
A file marked "saved" is our own copy of the official file. The code beside it is its fingerprint, a short code that changes if the file's contents change. A file with no copy saved carries "Not published yet".
