Subject: [lstac] Explain it to me like I'm 5

Before I take this Teri, I'm hoping one of you can help.

I understand that IMLS is now funded/not shutdown thanks to H.R. 7148 https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7148/text Is that right?

If so, how long are we funded for exactly?

Does this appropriations act guarantee (as much as it can given the current climate) our funding only to the remainder of the current federal fiscal year (to Sept 1, 2026) or will this act carry us through the federal fiscal year that ends on September 1, 2027?

Thanks,

Jeff
