IIJA extension likely, full reauthorization uncertain; TPO told Dec. 11 is a near‑term deadline
Summary
TPO staff warned that the IIJA (Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) authorization lapses at the end of September and that Congress' continuing resolution carries core formula programs only through Dec. 11, leaving competitive programs in limbo and making further short‑term extensions likely.
Mike (TPO staff) updated the board on federal reauthorization and related risks. He said Congress passed a continuing resolution that would extend core formula funding programs through Dec. 11 but that the House has not acted and the full multi‑year replacement for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (IIJA) is not finalized.
"The continuing resolution basically carries forward the core formula funding programs from IIJA, but it does leave out some of the non‑formula and competitive things," Mike said, noting competitive programs such as certain discretionary grants may not be covered and that additional short‑term extensions of the authorization are possible into the fall. He urged agencies to track the outcome when Congress returns from recess in September.
