State legislative committee to prioritize federal relief funds

ARPA funds for state governments are only to be used to respond to the public health emergency and negative economic effects caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Oklahoma’s share of ARPA funds includes up to $1.9 billion for state government. The Joint Committee on Pandemic Relief Funding will focus on state government’s share of the funds.
