Shout out for the subject line “Explain it to me like I am 5.” This new girl over here really appreciates that level of explanation. 🤣

Good morning, Jeff,
This should fund IMLS operations through September 30, 2026.
The period of performance for the Grants to States program would be through September 30, 2027.
It looks like total funding is at $291,800,000 (page 138).
Thank you,
Terry

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<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7148/text__;!!EErPFA7f--AJOw!CAsZmKLxzWyku4PCK88M-bNCuFNfVEp3Lh-p6gjJbRuitAKocTDfme54dcoKYDmTeXjhRP1AhUwBHt0zsYzStWIu638L$> 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
