When a higher level of the U.S. government (i.e. the federal government) tells lower branches of the government (i.e. state governments) to do something, that's a mandate. If the federal government give the states money to help them do whatever they want them to do, that's a funded mandate. If they don't, if they just expect the states to do it on their own, that's an unfunded mandate. So when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, the federal government told the state governments they had to make all their office buildings handicap-accessible. They did give the states some money for the construction (although some say not enough), so that was a funded mandate.

What is a partially funded mandate?

A partially funded mandate refers to a directive or requirement that is only partially supported by financial resources. In this context, an organization or government may establish specific goals or programs but does not allocate sufficient funds to fully implement them. As a result, entities responsible for carrying out the mandate may face challenges in meeting the objectives, often leading to shortfalls in services or performance. This situation can create pressure on local governments or organizations to find alternative funding sources or make compromises in service delivery.
