The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 was designed to limit the number of unfunded federal mandates imposed by the federal government on state, local, and tribal governments and on the private sector. However, in practice, it has been criticized for allowing the federal government to impose mandates without providing the necessary funding (B), obligating states to implement certain policies without accompanying funding (C), and in some views, enabling the federal government to effectively circumvent direct responsibility for funding (which could be interpreted as getting around the law, A). Thus, all of these choices reflect criticisms or interpretations of the act's impact.
