MONDAY 8/3 FEDERAL Phase 4: HEALS Act comparison to HEROES Act and current law from our partners at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. Negotiations continued over the weekend but the sides still seem far apart on expanded UI, school funding, and state stabilization. The goal of a compromise agreement by the end of the week seems less and less realistic given the vast distances. The protracted negotiations will help Democrats get more of their priorities in a final bill, which also will push up its price tag. Timing is still mid August but it could creep into September given recess.
