Thank you We sneak Then here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by mandates the building blocks of any

00:09

solid bromance An unfunded mandate is what And here the

00:15

potential answers fella program not replied with a date Some

00:21

of you kind of you all right Well disagreements over

00:23

how states khun spend federal funds have been part of

00:25

the national conversation since the founding of this nation Let's

00:29

See what kind of role unfunded mandates play in this

00:32

not so hilarious governmental debate Well how about a is

00:36

an unfunded mandate a federal program that does not require

00:39

any governmental expenditure Well sure would be nice to have

00:43

federal programs that didn't require any government spending But that's

00:47

a pretty tall order So we can give a the

00:49

acts is an unfunded mandate be a date in which

00:54

the man forgets to bring his wallet Well no that's

00:57

Just bad luck for whoever had to sit through dinner

00:59

with him Could an unfunded mandate be see a court

01:04

ruling in a civil suit that denies any monetary damages

01:07

Well actually unfunded mandates have to do primarily with the

01:10

legislative branch not judicial So no matter how much we

01:14

like playing with our gavel we need to make a

01:16

ruling on sea and it's not guilty of being the

01:19

correct answer So goodbye See what about e an underfunded

01:23

federal programs such as social security Well no federal funds

01:28

are allocated towards social security so that wouldn't make it

01:32

unfunded So if he doesn't quite fit the bill well

01:35

that means that an unfunded mandate is deep a federal

01:39

law requiring the states to take some action without providing

01:42

the money to do so So shmoop there it is

01:45

An unfunded mandate Require states to do something such as

01:49

provide affordable housing or disability access but also makes them

01:53

come up with the money to accomplish it It's like

01:56

when our mom tells us call more but then makes

01:58

us put the phone bill well some states complained that

02:00

no child left behind which imposes higher education standards on

02:05

states is an unfunded mandate Since state governments are responsible

02:09

for providing k through twelve education and shmoop loves to
