Each side

Senate Majority Office

The Majority Office said the bill sends grant money to states by formula instead of by application, and said the change would cut the average award wait from 14 months to 5 months.

Senate Minority Office

The Minority Office said the formula leaves out rural counties under 20,000 residents, and said it will offer an amendment to add a rural set aside before the final vote.
