Amend CSHB 1 (house committee printing) in Article I of the bill, following the appropriations to the Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor (page I-52), by adding the following appropriately numbered rider:
____.  Grants for Local Census Outreach. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, including Rider 11 following the appropriations to the Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor, out of unexpended and unobligated balances, estimated unexpended and unobligated balances, interest earnings, and other revenues from funds appropriated to the Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor by this Act for the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2019, that are available for use for the purpose, the Office of the Governor shall allocate an amount, not to exceed $50,000,000, to provide grants to local units of government for their outreach efforts to encourage full participation in the 2020 federal decennial census of population required by 13 U.S.C. Section 141. It is the intent of the legislature that grant awards should prioritize a local government that has established census outreach efforts and has census tracts with traditionally hard-to-count populations within its boundaries.
