What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Special District Fairness and Accessibility Act'', directs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to issue new guidance. This guidance will clarify how agencies recognize special districts as units of local government. This clarification is intended to help these districts become eligible to receive Federal financial assistance. After the guidance is issued, agency heads must update their policies and practices to match these new rules. Finally, the Director must submit a report to specific Congressional committees evaluating how agencies have implemented this guidance.
