Executive Summary

The Biden Administration’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, currently making its way through Congress, would provide significant financial assistance through a wide array of government programs.
In addition to the myriad provisions the American Action Forum reviews here, the package provides funding for child care, child abuse and prevention, nutrition assistance, and health care in rural areas.
This legislation also attempts to address inequities by imposing maintenance of equity requirements on school districts, and providing targeted financial assistance to “socially disadvantaged” farmers, ranchers, and forest land owners.
