Summary

The law sets aside $500,000,000,000 from Treasury funds that were not already allocated and puts that money into the fund under 31 U.S.C. 5302(a)(1) to carry out this part. Starting January 1, 2021, any leftover money that came from section 9042(b) can only be used to change or restructure loans or investments as allowed under section 9063(b)(1), to exercise options or warrants made before January 1, 2021, or to pay costs and administrative expenses under section 9042(f). If any of those funds remain on January 1, 2026, they must be moved to the Treasury’s general fund to help reduce the federal deficit.
