Congress has enacted the TANF Emergency Response and Recovery Act of 2005, P.L. 109-68. The law contains positive provisions that will make additional TANF funds available to states to help families affected by Hurricane Katrina. However, certain parts of the law will result in needless complexity and reduce the law's effectiveness. Senators Grassley and Baucus have introduced a bill to address concerns about several provisions of P.L. 109-68, and the Senate may be acting on the Grassley-Baucus modifications in the near future.
