The bill changes the matching-funds rules for grants to low-income taxpayer clinics. Clinics could count staff salaries, fringe benefits, and equipment costs as matching funds, but not indirect expenses such as their sponsoring institution’s general overhead. The match would generally equal the grant amount. The Treasury Secretary could set a lower match, no lower than 25%, if doing so would expand clinic coverage to more taxpayers. The changes would apply to calendar years beginning after enactment.
If you use a low-income taxpayer clinic, the bill could change how clinics meet grant requirements. It does not guarantee that a clinic will receive a grant or that services will change.
Clinics would generally need to provide matching funds equal to 100% of a grant. The Secretary could lower this requirement to at least 25% under the conditions in the bill. No total cost estimate is provided in the bill text.
