This law creates the World Trade Center Health Program Supplemental Fund. Congress put $1,000,000,000 into it for fiscal year 2023, and that money stays available through fiscal year 2032. The WTC Program Administrator can spend it on any part of the WTC Health Program, without needing further approval or following the usual spending caps. Any money left unused by September 30, 2032 goes back to the Treasury.

(a) In general. This section creates the World Trade Center Health Program Supplemental Fund, called the "Supplemental Fund," made up of the money described in subsection (b). (b) Amount. Out of general Treasury money not already committed elsewhere, Congress appropriated $1,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2023 to put into the Supplemental Fund. That money stays available for spending through fiscal year 2032. (c) Uses of funds. The WTC Program Administrator can spend this money without asking Congress to appropriate it again, and without following the spending limits that normally apply under section 300mm–61(c). The Administrator decides how to use it, for any purpose under this title, including education and outreach (section 300mm–2) and research into certain health conditions (section 300mm–51(c)). (d) Return of funds. Any money that is still sitting unused in the Supplemental Fund on September 30, 2032, goes back into the Treasury as ordinary miscellaneous income.
