STEVENS AMENDMENT

What is the Stevens Amendment?

Since 1989, the United States Department of Labor’s (DOL) annual appropriation has included a provision known as the Stevens Amendment. Its purpose is to ensure transparency and accountability in federal spending. This provision requires the recipients of DOL grants and cooperative agreements to acknowledge federal funding when publicly discussing any projects or programs that DOL funded through its annual appropriation. For fiscal year 2021, this provision appeared in section 505 of division H of Public Law 116-260.

In compliance with the Stevens Amendment:
