Special Districts Provide Essential Services Act This bill makes special districts eligible for payments from the Coronavirus Relief Fund if more than $150 billion is appropriated to the fund.

A special district is a political subdivision, formed pursuant to general law or special act of a state, for the purpose of performing one or more governmental or proprietary functions. Services that such districts provide include first responders, firefighting, public health, or transit.
