Federal Funding Disclosure

The Stevens Amendment is a federal law found in H.R. 6157 that requires funding information to be included on all projects or programs using federal funds. It is intended to provide transparency for taxpayers and ensure federally funded research and work are properly credited.

This web page lists how the Workforce Development Board of Kern, Inyo & Mono counties uses federal grant money to fund its work.
