§703 Advance funding
Title 29 › Chapter CHAPTER 16— - VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION AND OTHER REHABILITATION SERVICES › § 703
Summary
Money for programs covered by this law can be put into the spending bill passed for the year before the money is actually available so people get notice that funding will exist. This is allowed even if it causes lawmakers to pass two separate appropriations in the same year — one for the current year and one for the next.
