Implementing Infrastructure Investments at the County Level: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (PL 117-58) - National Association of Counties

Overview

On November 15, President Biden signed the bipartisan infrastructure package, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA/P.L. 117-58), into law. Following the end of the federal legislature’s responsibilities to develop and pass the legislation comes the role of covered federal agencies to implement the law at the federal, state and local levels.

Of note, many of the programs in the IIJA are subject to appropriations or will see significant increases in funding if and when a full-year FY 2022 appropriations bill is enacted. Other programs that are not funded through the appropriations process, such as federal-aid highway formula funds to state departments of transportation, still depend on provisions set annually by this critical legislation. Currently, the federal government is being funded by a Continuing Resolution that extends FY 2021 federal spending levels through February 18, 2022.

As intergovernmental partners, counties play a key role in ensuring the successful interpretation and implementation of IIJA. Extremely significant to counties, who own and operate a vast amount of the nations’ infrastructure, effective implementation of the IIJA will require meaningful and ongoing engagement between officials at all levels of government.
