Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox U.S. legislation The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Шаблон:USBill) is a $2.3Шаблон:Nbsptrillion[1] spending bill that combines $900 billion in stimulus relief for the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States with a $1.4Шаблон:Nbsptrillion omnibus spending bill for the 2021 federal fiscal year (combining 12 separate annual appropriations bills) and prevents a government shutdown.[2][3][4] The bill is one of the largest spending measures ever enacted, surpassing the $2.2Шаблон:Nbsptrillion CARES Act, enacted in March 2020.[1] The legislation is the first bill to address the pandemic since April 2020.[5] According to the Senate Historical Office, at 5,593 pages, the legislation is the longest bill ever passed by Congress.[6]

The bill was passed by both houses of Congress on December 21, 2020, with large bipartisan majorities in support. The bill was the product of weeks of intense negotiations and compromise between Democrats and Republicans during the lame-duck session.[7][8][9][10] After initially criticizing the bill, President Donald Trump signed it into law on December 27.[11][12][13]

Legislative history

Шаблон:Further

Background

Following the approval of some $2.5Шаблон:Nbsptrillion in stimulus in March and April, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell cautioned against any further spending.[14]Шаблон:Efn From then until mid-October, Republicans and Democrats proposed a series of prospective bills, with support mostly along party lines, and each side voicing criticism of the other party's inclusion of special interests.[15][16][17][18] In September, a non-pandemic-related spending bill was passed to avoid a government shutdown, allowing Congress to focus on a separate relief bill.[19] On November 4, McConnell spoke in favor of passing stimulus during the lame-duck session in November and December.[20] Two days later, Larry Kudlow, the director of President Donald Trump's National Economic Council, indicated that, like McConnell, the Trump administration was interested in a targeted package smaller than $2–3Шаблон:Nbsptrillion.[21]

Negotiations

On December 1, McConnell implied that some form of relief would come in the spending bill for the fiscal year of 2021.[22] The next day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer endorsed a $908Шаблон:Nbspbillion bipartisan plan.[23]Шаблон:Efn A number of Republican senators subsequently endorsed it, with Lindsey Graham (R-SC) saying he had discussed it "extensively" with Trump.[24]

On December 8, Mnuchin presented a $916Шаблон:Nbspbillion counter-proposal,[25] which Pelosi and Schumer called "unacceptable" because it reduced funding for unemployment insurance from $180Шаблон:Nbspbillion to $40Шаблон:Nbspbillion,[26] in exchange for a one-time $600 direct payment for adults and children.[27]Шаблон:Efn

On December 11, a one-week stopgap spending bill was signed into law to allow more time to negotiate stimulus.[28][29]

The next week, two controversial measures from both parties were moved into a separate $160Шаблон:Nbspbillion bill called the Bipartisan State and Local Support and Small Business Protection Act of 2020. This bill included the Democrat's request for more state and local government aid, and the Republican's request for a strong COVID lawsuit liability shield for businesses.[30]

Senator Josh Hawley Шаблон:Nowrap and Senator Bernie Sanders Шаблон:Nowrap planned to bring to vote on December 18 a proposal for direct payments of the same amount provided by the CARES Act ($1,200 per adult making less than $75,000 annually and $500 per child),[31] but this was blocked by Senator Ron Johnson Шаблон:Nowrap.[32][33]

On December 18, a 48-hour stopgap bill was passed to keep the government funded through the weekend,[33] with a one-day stopgap bill passed to prolong voting until that Monday, December 21.[34]

At the request of Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA), the bill was modified to require congressional approval of future emergency lending through the Fed, and to rescind about $429Шаблон:Nbspbillion in unused CARES Act funding.[35][36][37]

In order to pass the bill more quickly, Congress used H.R. 133, previously the United States-Mexico Economic Partnership Act, as a legislative vehicle, amending the bill to contain its current text.Шаблон:Cn

Challenges

During the last few days, logistical challenges arose as the bill, which consisted of some 5,500 pages of text, proved difficult to physically assemble due to printer malfunctions and a corrupted computer file.[38] The file, representing the education portion of the bill, posed a problem in that all portions had to be combined into one overall file.[39] Senator John Thune (R-SD) remarked, "Unfortunately, it's a bad time to have a computer glitch."[38] The delays meant that the two votes in Congress were delayed late into the evening of December 21.[40]

Several members of both parties voiced unhappiness with such a large bill being presented to them with little time to understand what was inside it.[12] Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Шаблон:Nowrap wrote, "It's not good enough to hear about what's in the bill. Members of Congress need to see & read the bills we are expected to vote on,"[40] and compared the process to "hostage-taking",[12] while Representative Michael Burgess Шаблон:Nowrap said, "This is a tough way to legislate, to save everything til the very end and then pass a very large bill."[40] Senator Ted Cruz Шаблон:Nowrap tweeted that the whole process was "ABSURD".[12]

Congress passes the bill

On the evening of December 21 the votes were held, with large, bipartisan majorities supporting them.[5] The bill was split into two parts in the House, with one portion passing 327–85 and another portion 359–53.[5] The first vote, which included funding for federal agencies, was opposed by 41 Democrats and 43 Republicans.[5] The stimulus portion was in the latter vote, and was supported by Democrats by a 230–2 margin and Republicans by a 128–50 margin (two independents made up the rest).[41] Following that, there was a single vote in the Senate, which passed 92–6.[5]

Also on the night of December 21, Trump signed a weeklong stopgap bill through December 28, avoiding a shutdown while the 5,593-page legislation was being processed.[42] It was the biggest bill ever passed by Congress in terms of length of text.[6] On December 24, Congress began the official process of sending the bill to Trump.[43]

Presidential dispute and signing

Trump was largely absent from the final series of negotiations on the pandemic relief and omnibus legislation,[44][45] as he had been focusing almost exclusively on promoting his claims that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from him.[12][44][46][47] Trump's Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and other Trump administration officials were involved in the negotiations at each stage and expressed support for the final deal.[44]

In a video released on the evening of December 22, a day after the bill's passage, Trump indicated his dissatisfaction with the bill, calling it a "disgrace" and criticizing it for including what he called "wasteful and unnecessary" spending (Trump complained about the inclusion of funds for foreign aid, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Kennedy Center) and not enough pandemic relief,Шаблон:Efn calling the $600 individual payments "ridiculously low".[12] Trump's last-minute statement shocked Congress[46] and surprised administration officials, including Mnuchin, who was heavily involved in the negotiations.[12] In the video, Trump complained about various spending line items in the bill for not being related to COVID-19, but these expenditures were part of the regular annual (fiscal year 2021) appropriations, not the COVID-19 stimulus portion of the bill.[44][48] Moreover, the budget items that Trump complained about were part of Trump's own budget proposal for the year,[48] and were similar to budget provisions in previous budgets signed by Trump.[44]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that, if Trump vetoed the bill, the Senate was prepared to convene on December 29 for an override vote.[49]

On the night of December 22, Trump asked Congress to send him a version of the bill with $2,000 rather than $600 individual payments. House Speaker Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer signaled Democratic support of this change, while Senate Minority Leader Schumer encouraged Trump to sign the current bill, stating that "we're glad to pass more aid" at a later date.[50] If no agreement can be reached, the government may shut down, and according to Trump, "the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package and maybe that administration will be me".[51][52][53] It was speculated that Trump might use a pocket veto.[45]

The president left for his Mar-a-Lago estate on December 23, leaving his intentions unclear.[46] On December 24, House Democrats tried to pass, by unanimous consent, legislation to increase the size of the stimulus checks to $2,000,[54] but House Republicans blocked the proposed increase.[55][56] Many figures in both parties urged Trump to sign the bill,[57][58] and planned fallback strategies to keep the government open in case he did not.[59]

Two kinds of pandemic relief payments, Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation, expired on the morning of December 27.[60] On the evening of December 27, after coming under heavy pressure from Democrats and Republicans, Trump signed the bill into law without his demands being met.[61][62] Upon signing the bill, Trump released a statement containing various false statements and grievances.[61] Trump indicated that he would create "a redlined version" of the bill accompanied by a "formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill."[63] Congress is not expected to act on this request.[61] Trump's delay of nearly a week in signing the bill held up $900Шаблон:Nbspbillion in emergency relief funds,[61] and because he did not sign the bill a day earlier, millions of Americans enrolled in unemployment programs are unlikely to receive a payment for the final week of 2020.[62]

CASH Act

Шаблон:See also

On December 28, the House passed the Caring for Americans with Supplemental Help Act (CASH Act), a standalone bill to increase direct payments to $2,000[64] for those who make under $75,000 annually. It would phase out for those who make up to $115,000.[65] Projected to cost $464Шаблон:Nbspbillion,[66] the House passed the bill by just over the two-thirds majority vote necessary, under a suspension of the rules.[67][68][69]

On December 29, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer moved to pass the bill by unanimous consent, but was blocked by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.[70] Later that day, McConnell introduced legislation combining increased payments with two other Trump demands: a repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (which the president had wanted to include in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021), and the establishment of a voter fraud study commission.[71]Шаблон:Efn McConnell later claimed that Trump had requested these items to be tied to the stimulus checks, but there is no record of this.[72] Senator Chris Murphy Шаблон:Nowrap has cautioned against sinking the $2,000 stimulus checks with "poison pills".[71] On December 31, Schumer again tried to pass the bill by unanimous consent, which was again blocked by McConnell. Schumer suggested voting on the president's other two requests separately.[73]

On December 30, McConnell criticized the CASH Act for failing to adequately phase out higher-income earners.[72]Шаблон:Efn Bernie Sanders (with Josh Hawley's backing) tried to force a roll-call vote on the law by filibustering a vote to override Trump's veto of the 2021 defense bill.[74][75] On January 1, 2021, Schumer again called for a vote on $2,000 stimulus checks but was blocked by a Republican senator—ending prospects for the act to be approved by the 116th Congress.[76] On January 6, after democrats won control of the senate by winning two senate seats in Georgia the night before, Schumer said the $2,000 payments were a top priority for him in the 117th Congress.[77] President-elect Joe Biden also supported increasing the payments to $2,000.[78]

Provisions

Coronavirus relief

The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSAA) is Division M of the legislation, and Division N contains additional coronavirus provisions. It is a follow-on to such actions as the CARES Act and Paycheck Protection Program passed in March 2020, and comes after eight months of mostly little progress in negotiations between the different parties and houses of Congress.[40][79] Many of the negotiations made little progress due to strongly held policy differences being contested.[40] The incumbent president, having lost his bid for re-election, generally played little role in the later stages of the discussions.[40]

The pandemic relief portion of the bill was estimated at about $900Шаблон:Nbspbillion by the Associated Press.[80] On January 14, the Congressional Budget Office released its scoring with Division M as $184Шаблон:Nbspbillion and Division N as $682Шаблон:Nbspbillion, for a total of $866Шаблон:Nbspbillion[81] with their breakdowns.[82][83] The Associated Press' estimates were:

The legislation also extends the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-imposed eviction moratorium (halting evictions for failure to pay rent for tenants with annual incomes of less than $99,000) to January 31, 2021; the moratorium had initially been set to expire at the end of 2020.[86][89]

Regular appropriations

The regular annual appropriations bills comprise Divisions A through L of the bill, and totals about $1.4Шаблон:Nbsptrillion.[80][90] Among these provisions are:

Division A – Agriculture, rural development, FDA

Division B – Commerce, justice, science

Division C – Defense

Division D – Energy and water development

Division E – Financial services, general government

Division F – Homeland security

Division G – Interior, environment

Division H – Labor, health, education

Division I – Legislative branch

Division J – Military construction and veterans affairs

Division K – State and foreign operations

The act appropriated $55.5 billion for the Department of State, foreign operations, related programs, and the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funds.[99] This was an increase from the amount appropriated in the previous fiscal year, but lower than the bills approved by the House and Senate.[100] The act also included funding for the U.S. contribution to the replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a goal of global health advocates.[100] The foreign aid appropriations are an increase of about 1%.[100]

Division L – Transportation, housing and urban development

Other provisions

Divisions O through Z and AA through FF contains additional legislation (called "authorizing matters") unrelated to coronavirus relief and annual appropriations.[104] Additionally, the appropriations provisions of the bill contain various policy riders.[90][99] The addition of such provisions to omnibus spending legislation ("loading up the Christmas tree") is common toward the end of a congressional session.[40] Among these are:

Healthcare

  • A ban on most surprise medical billing—unexpected, and sometimes large, bills from out-of-network providers that are charged to patients. The ban, which goes into effect in 2022, will require out-of-network providers to negotiate with insurers to obtain compensation, rather than billing insured patients directly. The ban on surprising billing will apply to physicians, hospitals, and air ambulances, but does not apply to ground ambulances. The ban on surprise billing had broad public support; a similar provision nearly passed in 2019, but was blocked amid health providers and the private-equity firms that own many of them.[111][112]
  • Reauthorizing funding for community health centers for three years[80]
  • Extension of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates for health care providers and procedures[80]

Tax provisions

  • Various "tax extenders" extending expiring tax breaks;[80] including making permanent a previous reduction in the excise tax for producers of beer, wine, and distilled spirits (a measure advocated for by the alcohol industry); extension of the wind production tax credit (advocated by the American Wind Energy Association); a tax extender for the motorsports entertainment industry (benefiting NASCAR and others); and a tax extender for buyers of "two-wheeled plug-in electric vehicles" (electric motorcycles and scooters)[113]
  • A tax deduction for corporate meal expenses; inclusion of this provision was pushed by Trump and administration officials, but was criticized by many House Democrats who referred to it as a needless "three-martini lunch" tax break, as well as by economists across the political spectrum. During negotiations, Democrats ultimately agreed to include the deduction in exchange for Republicans' agreement to the expansion of tax credits for the working poor and low-income families.[114]

Foreign and human rights policy

Energy and environmental provisions

Economic analyses

Economists projected that the relief act (in conjunction with the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines) would have a stimulative effect and would strengthen U.S. economic recovery in the second half of 2021, but came too late to avert a struggling economy in the first half of 2021.[121][122][123] An analysis by economists Adam Hersh and Mark Paul, commissioned by the Groundwork Collaborative, a progressive think tank, concluded that Congress would need to enact a near-term stimulus about four times larger in order to obtain a full recovery.[123]

The bill's omission of grants to state and local governments, which are struggling with budget shortfalls, was criticized by economists, who noted that the lack of revenue would lead to state and local governments eliminating jobs and raising taxes.[121]

Economists stated that the $25Шаблон:Nbspbillion in rental assistance programs allocated by the bill were insufficient to prevent a looming eviction crisis.[86]
