The House legislation would provide $350 billion to state and local governments, as well as tribes and territories.
States and the District of Columbia would receive $195.3 billion, while local governments would be sent $130.2 billion to be divided evenly between cities and counties. Tribes would get $20 billion and territories $4.5 billion.
Additional assistance to states has been among the most controversial elements of the congressional rescue packages, with Democrats looking to add to the $150 billion in the March legislation and Republicans resisting such efforts. The December package ultimately dropped an initial call to include $160 billion.
Vaccines and testing
The House bill provides $14 billion to research, develop, distribute, administer and strengthen confidence in vaccines. It would also put $46 billion towards testing, contact tracing and mitigation, including investing in laboratory capacity, community-based testing sites and mobile testing units, particularly in medically underserved areas.
It would also allocate $7.6 billion to hire 100,000 public health workers to support coronavirus response.
The President's plan called for investing $20 billion in a national vaccination program.

Stimulus checks
The House bill would provide direct payments worth up to $1,400 per person. A family of four could receive up to $5,600.
Individuals earning less than $75,000 a year and married couples earning less than $150,000 would be sent the full amount.
But not everyone who received a previous stimulus check would be eligible for this round. The payments would phase out faster and completely cut off individuals earning more than $100,000 and families earning more than $200,000.
The payment will be calculated based on either 2019 or 2020 income. Unlike the previous two rounds, adult dependents would be eligible for the payments.
Unemployment assistance
The House bill would extend two key pandemic unemployment programs through August 29. It would also increase the federal weekly boost to $400, from the current $300, and continue it for the same time period.
It would lengthen the duration of the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program to up to 74 weeks, from 50 weeks, and the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation program to 48 weeks, from 24 weeks.
The former provides benefits to freelancers, gig workers, independent contracts and certain people affected by the pandemic, while the latter increases the duration of payments for those in the traditional state unemployment system

9% goes to COVID relief.If a bill is presented to address a singular issue it’s likelihood of bipartisan support is greater than when it’s stuffed with paybacks ,crap, and non related appropriations is Bull Shit!
Morons cheer!
That tells me that 76% of Americans and 60% of Republicans do not know what's in the covid relief bill. If you look at all the extraneous spending in that bill, the covid relief bill appears to have more to do with other spending projects than covid relief.76% of Americans including 60% of Republicans favor this bill and it will get ZERO support from Republican legislators

This bill is just named covid relief, and a little covid spending is put in there, as a way to get all the other pork spending projects approved.
This is why I think ALL bills should be single issue, and stop all of this attaching inflated pork spending to important bills as a way of getting them pushed through.
5900 pages?How many pages and how many have actually read the entire bill?76% of Americans including 60% of Republicans favor this bill and it will get ZERO support from Republican legislators

Watch this:
HR 2
A bill to provide relief to Americans who have been adversely affected by the covid 19 virus.
This bill will provide stimulus checks in the amount of $1400 to all single Americans making less that $75,000 per year, and $2800 to each married couple making less than $150,000 per year combined. Each child will also be granted an additional $500.

That's why I will not run for any office.
It's also why Presidents who want to target laws have to do it via EOs.
