Duplicative Grant Consolidation Act

# Duplicative Grant Consolidation Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Duplicative Grant Consolidation Act would require the federal government to identify and consolidate overlapping grant programs. Rather than having multiple federal agencies offering similar grants for the same purposes, this bill would streamline these programs into single, coordinated funding streams. The goal is to reduce administrative waste and make it easier for grant applicants to navigate federal funding opportunities. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** This bill would primarily affect federal agencies that administer grant programs, as well as organizations, businesses, and individuals who apply for federal grants (nonprofits, local governments, researchers, etc.).

By consolidating duplicate programs, the bill aims to reduce bureaucratic complexity and potentially lower administrative costs across government. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House. It was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Stephanie Bice (R-OK).
