Lawmakers divvy up last $16M in CARES Act money
Louisiana lawmakers on Friday divvied up the last $16 million in federal pandemic relief money they had available.
The Legislature’s joint House of Representatives and Senate budget committee agreed to put $8 million in the state’s unemployment trust fund while sending the other $8 million to the state education department for computers and mobile devices. If the Department of Education is unable to spend its share, that money also will go to pay unemployment benefits.
Money allocated to states through the federal CARES Act must be spent by Dec. 30 or revert back to the federal government.
