S. 1

TO CURB THE PRACTICE OF IMPOSING UNFUNDED FEDERAL MAN-
DATES ON STATES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS; TO STRENGTHEN THE
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND STATE,
LOCAL AND TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS; TO END THE IMPOSITION, IN
THE ABSENCE OF FULL CONSIDERATION BY CONGRESS, OF FEDERAL
MANDATES ON STATE, LOCAL, AND TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS WITHOUT
ADEQUATE FUNDING, IN A MANNER THAT MAY DISPLACE OTHER ES-
SENTIAL GOVERNMENTAL PRIORITIES; AND TO ENSURE THAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAYS THE COSTS INCURRED BY THOSE GOV-
ERNMENTS IN COMPLYING WITH CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS UNDER
FEDERAL STATUTES AND REGULATIONS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
