Notes

  • The bill’s total allocations in each section are modest (mostly $100 or $900 total in specific sections), indicating a framework to fund a broad set of capital projects across multiple agencies, rather than large single projects.
  • Emphasizes prioritization by need and program priority, rather than uniform distribution.
