A bill to clarify the application of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to revise the definition of "Federal intergovernmental mandate" to include any provision in legislation, statute, or regulation that relates to a then-existing Federal program under which $500 million or more is provided annually to State, local, and tribal governments under entitlement authority if: (1) the provision would increase the stringency of conditions of assistance to such governments or would place caps on, or otherwise decrease, the Government's responsibility to provide funding to such governments under the program; and (2) that legislation, statute, or regulation does not provide governments that participate in the Federal program new or expanded authority under the program to amend their financial or programmatic responsibilities to continue providing required services that are affected by the legislation, statute, or regulation. (The current law condition provides that participating governments "lack" authority under the program to amend such responsibilities.)
