Key Takeaways

  • •The government can give money to public groups for projects.
  • •If the project needs more than $400,000, the government must ask for special permission first.
  • •The government has to share details about the project before getting that permission.

Example

A city wants to build a new park that will cost $500,000.

The city can get $400,000 from the government without extra steps, but for the remaining $100,000, the government must ask the lawmakers for special approval first. They also have to show a report about the park project before getting that approval.
