Build Back Better Package Clears House of Representatives

Elizabeth Prewitt PACEsConnection writer 11/19/2110:47 AM

By a vote of 220-213, the $2 trillion Build Back Better bill passed the House of Representatives this morning, November 19. The package now goes to the Senate.

For about 8 hours, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy built the case against the bill while Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said it is "historic, transformative, and bigger than anything we've ever done." For details on what is in the bill including a $2.5 billion grant and technical assistance title relating to community violence and trauma, click here.
