Consolidated Appropriations Act Clause Samples
The Consolidated Appropriations Act clause refers to provisions in contracts or agreements that ensure compliance with the requirements set forth by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, a federal law governing the allocation and use of government funds. This clause typically mandates that parties receiving federal funds adhere to specific restrictions, such as prohibitions on the use of funds for certain activities or requiring reporting and transparency measures. Its core practical function is to ensure that all parties involved in federally funded projects or contracts operate within the legal and financial boundaries established by Congress, thereby promoting accountability and lawful use of appropriated funds.
