This bill seeks to impose a significant limitation on the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Specifically, it mandates that none of the funds made available to the NEH for any fiscal year may be used to carry out Section 7 of the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965. Section 7 of the original act (20 U.S.C. 956) is responsible for authorizing the NEH to provide grants and loans to States for planning and implementing various programs related to the humanities. By prohibiting the use of funds for this section, the bill would effectively eliminate the NEH's ability to financially support state-level humanities initiatives. The act is slated to take effect on the first day of the first fiscal year following its enactment.
