-
These changes would apply to legislation or motions that require Executive Branch agencies to give money to people or entities that have signed legal agreements with the Federal Government to receive funds already approved by Congress.

The legislation could include money from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to create American manufacturing jobs and improve the energy security of the United States.
