This section deems funds appropriated or transferred by this Act for the Department of the Treasury’s intelligence or intelligence-related activities to be specifically authorized by Congress under section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947 for FY2026 until enactment of the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY2026. (As background, section 504 requires Congress to annually authorize appropriations for intelligence activities.)

This section directs the Secretary of the Treasury to submit a Capital Investment Plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 30 days after the President's annual budget submission. The plan must include capital investment spending from all Department of the Treasury accounts (e.g., Department-wide Systems and Capital Investment Programs account, Treasury Franchise Fund account, and Treasury Forfeiture Fund account) as well as expenditures from previous fiscal years for each capital investment project that has not been fully completed.

This section—(1) prohibits the Department of the Treasury, including the IRS, from using funds available in FY2026 or any other Act to issue, revise, or finalize any regulation, revenue ruling, or other guidance (not limited to a particular taxpayer) relating to the standard for determining whether an organization is operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code (including the proposed regulations published at 78 Fed. Reg. 71535 (Nov. 29, 2013)); and (2) reinstates the standard and definitions in effect on January 1, 2010, for such determinations for organizations created on, before, or after enactment. (Thus, 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations—i.e., tax-exempt entities primarily promoting social welfare, such as civic leagues—remain subject to the pre-2010 standard allowing broader political activity.)

This section directs the Secretary of the Treasury, within 45 days after enactment, to submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations an itemized report on total funds charged to each office by the Treasury Franchise Fund (i.e., a revolving fund that provides common administrative services such as IT and printing to federal agencies on a reimbursable basis). The report must include, for each office, the amount charged for each service, a detailed description of the services, a detailed explanation of how each charge is calculated, and a description of the role customers have in governing the Franchise Fund.

This section requires the Office of Financial Research (OFR)—an independent federal office established by the Dodd-Frank Act to support the Financial Stability Oversight Council with financial data collection and risk analysis—to submit reports on its activities not later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House Committee on Financial Services, and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act to approve, license, facilitate, authorize, or otherwise allow—by general or specific license—travel-related or other transactions incident to non-educational exchanges to Cuba described in 31 CFR 515.565(b).

This section directs the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a joint report, not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, on travel to Cuba pursuant to specified general licenses in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (31 CFR §§515.565(b) [family visits], 515.560(a)(1) [U.S. or foreign government official business], 515.560(c)(4)(i) [support for the Cuban people], and 515.561 [professional research or meetings]).

This section prohibits the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network from using funds provided by this Act to implement or enforce beneficial ownership reporting requirements under 31 U.S.C. 5336 that a federal court has found unconstitutional or that do not reflect congressional intent, including such requirements for small businesses and homeowners associations.

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act to implement or enforce the final rule relating to Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (88 Fed. Reg. 80584, Nov. 20, 2023) or any substantially similar rule. (The rule, issued by the Department of the Treasury, clarifies eligible uses of approximately $350 billion provided under the American Rescue Plan Act to state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments for COVID-19 response and recovery.)

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act (1) by the Federal Insurance Office to implement, administer, or enforce the provision of law (31 U.S.C. §313(e)(6)) requiring it to monitor the insurance industry for risks arising from climate change and other environmental factors; and (2) by the Office of Financial Research to implement, administer, or enforce the provision of law (12 U.S.C. §5343(f)) requiring it to assess and report on climate-related risks to financial stability.

This section directs the Secretary of the Treasury to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House Committee on Financial Services, and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs not later than 90 days after enactment on the practicability of establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. The report must include (1) any potential barriers, (2) the projected impact on the Department of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, (3) existing transfer authorities under which an agency would contribute to the fund, (4) how Bitcoin and digital assets would appear on the federal government's balance sheet, and (5) all third-party contractors responsible for asset custody.

This section directs the Secretary of the Treasury to submit a report, not later than 90 days after enactment, to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House Committee on Financial Services, and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. The report must outline the plan for secure and efficient custody of digital assets acquired by the federal government—including assets held under the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile—and describe the custody architecture, legal authorities, cybersecurity protocols, and interagency procedures for transferring and holding such assets.

This section directs the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of the National Security Agency to submit a classified report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations outlining coordination between the two agencies within 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act.

This section authorizes the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, with advance approval of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, to transfer up to 10% of appropriations made available in this Act under eight specified Executive Office of the President headings—“The White House,” “Executive Residence at the White House,” “White House Repair and Restoration,” “Council of Economic Advisers,” “National Security Council and Homeland Security Council,” “Office of Administration,” “Special Assistance to the President,” and “Official Residence of the Vice President”—to any other such heading. Transfers merge with the receiving appropriation for the same time period and purposes, are capped such that no appropriation increases by more than 50%, and require Vice Presidential approval if from “Special Assistance to the President” or “Official Residence of the Vice President.”

This section requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to provide a written statement on the budgetary impact—including costs, benefits, and revenues—of any Executive order or Presidential memorandum issued or revoked during FY2026. The statement must include (1) a narrative summary of the budgetary impact on the Federal Government; (2) impacts on mandatory and discretionary obligations and outlays by Federal agency for each year in the 5-fiscal-year period beginning in FY2026; and (3) impacts on Federal revenues over the same period. For orders or memoranda issued due to a national emergency, OMB may issue the statement up to 15 days after issuance; the requirement applies to Presidential memoranda only if they have an estimated regulatory cost exceeding $100,000,000.

This section requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, not later than 30 days after enactment, to issue a memorandum to all federal departments, agencies, and corporations directing compliance with title VII of this Act.

This section authorizes transfers of up to 5% of appropriations made available for the Judiciary for the current fiscal year between such appropriations, provided no appropriation except “Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and Other Judicial Services, Defender Services” and “Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and Other Judicial Services, Fees of Jurors and Commissioners” may be increased by more than 10% by such transfers. Any such transfer is treated as a reprogramming of funds under sections 604 and 608 of this Act and is not available for obligation or expenditure until compliance with the procedures set forth in section 608.

This section authorizes up to $11,000 from the salaries and expenses appropriation for Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and Other Judicial Services to be used for official reception and representation expenses of the Judicial Conference of the United States (i.e., the federal judiciary's principal policymaking body). The funds are to be administered by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, in their capacity as Secretary of the Judicial Conference.

This section establishes a pilot program directing the United States Marshals Service to provide federal courthouse security services authorized for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under 40 U.S.C. 1315 (except services specified in 1315(b)(2)(E)), at courthouses designated by the Marshals Service Director in consultation with the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts Director. (As background, 40 U.S.C. 1315 authorizes DHS's Federal Protective Service to provide law enforcement and security at federal facilities.) The Administrative Office must reimburse the Marshals Service, rather than DHS, for building-specific security services at those courthouses.

This section prohibits the use of FY2026 funds to finalize or implement the Consumer Product Safety Commission's Safety Standard for Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles published on November 19, 2014 (79 Fed. Reg. 68964), until after (1) the National Academy of Sciences, in consultation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Department of Defense, completes a study assessing the technical validity of the standard's lateral stability and vehicle handling requirements for reducing recreational off-highway vehicle (ROV) rollovers off-road (including test repeatability and reproducibility), the number of rollovers such requirements would prevent, the basis for a point-of-sale hangtag on ROV rollover resistance, and the effect on military ROV utility; and (2) a report on the study is delivered to the Senate Committees on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and Appropriations and the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and Appropriations.

This section prohibits use of fiscal year 2026 funds appropriated by this Act to finalize or implement the Consumer Product Safety Commission's Safety Standard for Debris Penetration Hazards in off-highway vehicles—including recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) and utility task vehicles (UTVs)—published on July 21, 2022 (87 Fed. Reg. 43688), until the National Academy of Sciences, in consultation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Department of Defense, completes a study determining (1) the technical validity of the standard's debris penetration resistance requirements for reducing off-road risks, including testing repeatability and reproducibility; (2) the number of debris penetrations that would be prevented if adopted; (3) the effects on availability and utility of ROVs/UTVs for U.S. military use if adopted; and (4) the effects on availability and utility for U.S. consumers if adopted—with a report of results delivered to the Senate Committees on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and Appropriations and the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and Appropriations.

This section prohibits the Federal Communications Commission from using funds appropriated by this Act to modify its rules for universal service support payments (i.e., disbursements from the Universal Service Fund to promote telecommunications access in high-cost, rural, low-income, and other underserved areas) to implement the Federal-State Joint Board's February 27, 2004, recommendations on single connection or primary line restrictions.

This section prohibits the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the Universal Service Administrative Company from using funds appropriated by this Act (1) to update minimum service standards for fixed or mobile broadband Internet access service pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §54.408 without prior notice-and-comment rulemaking on such standards' impact on affordability and consumer choice, or (2) to reduce the support level for voice service pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §54.403(a)(2).

It further directs the FCC to conduct notice-and-comment rulemaking on the impact of the voice service support level on low-income consumers' access to public safety services.

This section prohibits the use of funds provided by this Act to implement, administer, or enforce the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) final rule titled “The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: Prevention and Elimination of Digital Discrimination” (89 Fed. Reg. 4128 (Jan. 22, 2024)) or any substantially similar rule. (The rule implements Section 60506 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which requires the FCC to prevent and eliminate digital discrimination in the deployment of broadband internet access service.)

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act to establish within the Federal Communications Commission an advisory committee on any environmental, social, or governance matter.

This section prohibits the use of funds made available by this Act to finalize or enforce the “Trade Regulation on the Use of Earnings Claims” or the “Review of the Business Opportunity Rule” rulemakings unless a clear statement of need is provided and overlapping rulemakings and improvements in self-regulation and consumer protection for impacted industries are considered.

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act to implement, administer, or enforce the Federal Trade Commission's November 10, 2022, policy statement on the scope of unfair methods of competition under Section 5 of the FTC Act (Commission File No. P221202). (Thus, the statement—which rescinded prior guidance limiting Section 5 enforcement to conduct unlawful under the antitrust laws and instead authorized broader standalone enforcement against unfair methods of competition—cannot be carried out using these funds.)

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act to file a complaint unless all commissioners certify that they have had access to review all relevant materials at least 10 business days prior to a commission meeting or vote on the matter.

This section limits transfers of funds in the Federal Buildings Fund for FY2026 activities to those necessary to meet program requirements, subject to prior approval by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act to develop, promulgate, finalize, implement, or enforce any rulemaking that would, directly or indirectly, (1) create new disclosure requirements under Regulation D or (2) lower the amount of money an issuer can raise through Regulation D.

This section prohibits the use of funds provided by this Act to implement or enforce the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) final rule on Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, and Incident Disclosure (88 Fed. Reg. 51896, Aug. 4, 2023).

This section authorizes the transfer of up to 5% of any appropriation made available for the Small Business Administration (SBA) for the current fiscal year between such appropriations, provided no such appropriation is increased by more than 10% by any such transfers. Any such transfer is treated as a reprogramming of funds under section 608 of this Act and is not available for obligation or expenditure except in compliance with the procedures set forth in that section.

This section limits expenditures of appropriations under this Act for consulting services procured pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109 (i.e., temporary or intermittent personal services of experts or consultants) to those contracts where such expenditures are a matter of public record and available for public inspection, except as otherwise provided by existing law or Executive order issued pursuant to existing law.

This section prohibits the transfer of funds appropriated by this Act to any other department, agency, or instrumentality of the U.S. government except as expressly authorized by this Act or another appropriations Act.

This section prohibits the use of funds provided by this Act for any activity or to pay the salary of any government employee if that activity or salary payment would result in a decision, determination, rule, regulation, or policy prohibiting enforcement of section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307), which bans the importation of merchandise produced wholly or in part by convict, forced, or indentured labor (including forced or indentured child labor).

The section further requires agencies funded by this Act to consult with the Committees on Appropriations prior to any significant reorganization, restructuring, relocation, or closing of offices, programs, or activities; to submit to the committees, within 60 days of enactment, a detailed report establishing a baseline for reprogramming and transfer authorities that includes tables of full-time equivalent employees and budget authority by prior-year enacted level, President's budget request, congressional adjustments, rescissions, and FY2026 enacted level, delineated by object class and program, project, or activity; and to identify items of special congressional interest. (Thus, failure to submit the report by the deadline reduces the agency's salaries and expenses appropriation by $100,000 per day until submitted.)

This section allows not more than 50% of unobligated balances remaining at the end of FY2026 from salaries and expenses appropriations provided in this Act to remain available through September 30, 2027, for authorized purposes in each such account, subject to prior approval by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in compliance with reprogramming guidelines.

This section authorizes the Office of Personnel Management to accept and utilize court-approved funds—without regard to restrictions on unanticipated travel expenses in appropriations acts—for resolving litigation and implementing any settlement agreements related to the nonforeign area cost-of-living allowance program. (The program provides cost-of-living adjustments to federal civilian employees in high-cost areas outside the contiguous United States, such as Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories.)

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act to pay for abortions or the administrative expenses connected to any health plan under the Federal Employees Health Benefits program that provides abortion coverage.

This section exempts federal acquisitions of information technology (IT) (as defined in 40 U.S.C. §11101) that is a commercial product (as defined in 41 U.S.C. §103) from the Buy American Act (chapter 83 of title 41, U.S. Code), which restricts purchases of nondomestic articles, materials, and supplies.

This section prohibits officers or employees of regulatory agencies or commissions funded by this Act from accepting, on behalf of such agency or commission, payment or reimbursement from a non-federal entity subject to regulation by—or representing an entity subject to regulation by—the agency or commission for travel, subsistence, or related expenses to attend meetings or similar functions related to official duties, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 1353 (which generally permits such acceptance under certain conditions). The prohibition does not apply if the entity is a tax-exempt organization described in IRC §501(c)(3).

This section requires executive agencies funded by this Act (excluding the General Services Administration (GSA) and United States Postal Service (USPS)) to consult with GSA before issuing solicitations for new leases or construction or alteration contracts for real property used for office, meeting, storage, or other space, and before negotiating succeeding leases with current lessors.

This section limits pay adjustments for prevailing rate employees (i.e., federal blue-collar workers paid under local wage surveys pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §5342(a)(2)) during FY2026. (As background, these employees' pay rates are normally adjusted annually based on wage surveys conducted by federal agencies, independent of white-collar General Schedule adjustments under 5 U.S.C. §§5303 and 5304.) Specifically, from the expiration of the prior fiscal year's limitation until the normal effective date of the FY2026 wage survey adjustment, such employees may not be paid above the applicable prior-year grade and step rate; for the remainder of FY2026, pay may not exceed that rate by more than the sum of (1) the GS adjustment percentage under §5303 and (2) the difference between the overall average locality pay percentage under §5304 for FY2026 and the prior fiscal year. The limitations apply equally to other prevailing rate employees under §5342(a)(2)(B)-(C) and §5348; premium pay rates are frozen as of September 30, 2025 (except as determined by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to be consistent with the limitations); the capped rates govern employee benefits calculations; and OPM may grant exceptions for recruitment or retention. (Thus, FY2026 wage survey increases are effectively capped to match GS pay increases.) Notwithstanding those limitations, this section requires adjustments under §§5344 and 5348 to be not less than the GS adjustment under §§5303 and 5304 (with certain employees treated as in the "Rest of U.S." locality), effective the first pay period beginning after September 30, 2025. The limitations apply to service performed after September 30, 2025, and do not authorize pay above otherwise applicable rates.

This section requires the head of any Executive branch department, agency, board, commission, or office funded by this or any other appropriations Act to submit annual reports to the relevant Inspector General (or senior ethics official, if applicable) on each conference held in FY2026 costing the federal government more than $100,000. Each such report must include (1) the conference purpose; (2) number of participants; (3) detailed costs to the government—including food or beverages, audio-visual services, employee or contractor travel, and the methodology for attributing costs; and (4) contracting procedures, including whether awarded competitively and any cost comparisons conducted. The section further requires quarterly notifications—within 15 days after the end of each quarter—to the relevant Inspector General (or senior ethics official) on each such conference costing more than $20,000, including the date, location, and number of employees attending. Additionally, the section (1) prohibits using grants or contracts funded by this or any other appropriations Act to defray costs of conferences not directly and programmatically related to the grant or contract purpose (e.g., those for routine planning, training, assessment, review, or other project-related activities); and (2) bars any funds made available in this or any other appropriations Act from being used for travel and conference activities not in compliance with Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M–12–12 (May 11, 2012) or subsequent revisions.

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this or any other appropriations Act to increase, eliminate, or reduce funding for any program, project, or activity as proposed in the President's budget request for a fiscal year until such change is enacted in an appropriations Act or made pursuant to reprogramming or transfer provisions of this or any other appropriations Act.

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this or any other Act to implement, administer, enforce, or apply the Office of Personnel Management's "Competitive Area" rule published on April 15, 2008 (73 Fed. Reg. 20180). (As background, the rule revised federal reduction-in-force procedures under 5 CFR part 351 to allow agencies to define smaller competitive areas organized by function, grade level, occupational series, or skills, rather than solely by geographic and organizational boundaries.)

This section prohibits the use of appropriated funds to begin or announce a study or public-private competition to convert any function performed by federal employees to contractor performance under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76 (i.e., the federal policy on competitive sourcing of commercial activities) or any similar regulation, directive, or policy.

This section prohibits the use of appropriated funds for any contract, grant, or cooperative agreement with an entity that requires its employees or contractors to sign an internal confidentiality agreement or statement restricting lawful reports of fraud, waste, or abuse to a designated federal investigative or law enforcement representative. The prohibition does not contravene federal nondisclosure requirements applicable to Standard Form 312, Form 4414, or similar forms governing classified information.

This section prohibits using appropriated funds to implement or enforce nondisclosure policies, forms, or agreements—including Standard Forms 312 and 4414—unless they contain specified language affirming consistency with existing protections for classified information, communications to Congress, reporting violations or abuses to an Inspector General or the Office of Special Counsel, and other whistleblower rights. (a) It permits tailored provisions in nondisclosure agreements for non-government persons connected to intelligence activities, provided they bar unauthorized disclosure of classified information and preserve rights to report substantial legal violations to Congress or authorized executive or Justice Department officials. (b) It grandfatherclauses compliant agreements executed under prior requirements. (c) It separately bars using funds for fiscal year 2014 agreements lacking substantially similar language.

This section prohibits the use of federal funds to enter into contracts, memoranda of understanding, cooperative agreements, grants, loans, or loan guarantees with corporations that have unpaid assessed federal tax liabilities—for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or lapsed and that are not being paid timely under an agreement with the tax collection authority—if the awarding agency is aware of the liability, unless the agency has considered suspending or debarbing the corporation and determined such action is unnecessary to protect government interests.

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this or any other Act to enter into contracts, memoranda of understanding, cooperative agreements, grants, loans, or loan guarantees with any corporation convicted of a felony under federal law within the preceding 24 months, if the awarding agency is aware of the conviction. The prohibition does not apply if a federal agency has considered suspending or debarring the corporation and determined that further action is not necessary to protect government interests.

This section prohibits pay rate increases during calendar year 2026 for (1) the Vice President; (2) employees in Executive Schedule positions or positions fixed by statute at Executive Schedule rates; (3) chiefs of mission and ambassadors at large; (4) noncareer or limited-term/limited-emergency Senior Executive Service (SES) appointees paid at or above the official rate for Executive Schedule level IV; and (5) other political appointees paid at or above that level (excluding General Schedule, Foreign Service, section 3161 appointees, and equivalent GS-15 or below positions). All such rates are fixed at levels payable on December 31, 2025, pursuant to section 747 of division B of Public Law 118-47, overriding automatic adjustments under 3 U.S.C. §104 and 5 U.S.C. §5318. Exceptions permit increases for promotions to covered positions with higher duties and pre-established higher pay ranges (based on December 31, 2025, rates), new appointees at those rates, non-political appointees, SES/Foreign Service pay retention elections, and pay periods straddling into 2027; the provision takes effect the first pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2026.

This section requires the President or head of the relevant department or agency, upon a violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (i.e., the law generally prohibiting executive impoundment of congressionally appropriated funds), to immediately report to Congress all relevant facts and a statement of actions taken. It further requires transmittal of a copy of each such report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations and the Comptroller General on the same date.

This section requires each executive branch department or agency to notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations and the Budget—and any other appropriate congressional committees—if (1) an apportionment of an appropriation is not made within the required timeframe under 31 U.S.C. §1513(b); (2) an approved apportionment conditions the availability of an appropriation on further action; or (3) an approved apportionment may hinder the prudent obligation of the appropriation or execution of a program, project, or activity. (As background, apportionments divide appropriated funds over time periods to promote orderly spending and prevent violations of the Antideficiency Act.) Subsection (b) requires such notifications to identify the relevant bureau, account name, appropriation name, and Treasury Appropriation Fund Symbol or fund account.

This section authorizes any federal agency to use appropriated funds for interagency reimbursements to support coordination with, participation in, or recommendations involving activities of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP), and National Institutes of Health (NIH) research programs, notwithstanding restrictions under 31 U.S.C. 1346 or section 708 of this Act. (Thus, it facilitates cross-agency collaboration on military medical research, congressionally directed peer-reviewed studies for specific conditions (e.g., breast cancer, PTSD), and broader biomedical research.)

This section authorizes the head of each executive department and agency to transfer to or reimburse the General Services Administration's Federal Citizen Services Fund (FCSF) up to $29 million in current fiscal year funds (including rebates), notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 1346 and section 708 of this Act, with Office of Management and Budget Director approval. (As background, the FCSF supports government-wide and multi-agency shared services in financial management, information technology, procurement, and e-government activities authorized by 44 U.S.C. 3604.) Funds transferred or reimbursed in FY2026 remain available through September 30, 2027; requires the GSA Administrator, in consultation with the OMB Director, to submit a detailed spend plan to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees within 90 days of enactment (including current/estimated fund amounts, purposes/breakdowns, personnel costs, and links to specific laws); and prohibits transfers or reimbursements until 15 days after OMB notification to those committees.

This section deems non-Federal entities receiving funds appropriated for FY2026 that are specified in congressional earmark disclosure tables (submitted under House Rule XXI cl. 9 or Senate Rule XLIV) as federal award recipients subject to records retention requirements (2 CFR 200.334) and Comptroller General access requirements (2 CFR 200.337). Subsection (b) specifies that the section does not limit, amend, supersede, or restrict other applicable requirements or the Comptroller General's existing authority.

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act or any other Act to make Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) investments in mutual funds that base investment decisions primarily on environmental, social, or governance (ESG) criteria. (The TSP is the defined contribution retirement plan available to federal civilian employees and uniformed service members.)

This section prohibits the obligation or expenditure of funds appropriated by this Act or any other Act to (1) classify or facilitate the classification of any communications by a U.S. person as mis-, dis-, or mal-information; or (2) partner with or fund nonprofit or other organizations that pressure or recommend private companies to censor lawful and constitutionally protected speech of U.S. persons, including recommending the censoring or removal of content on social media platforms.

This section prohibits the use or transfer of funds made available by this Act or any other Act to recruit, hire, promote, or retain any person who has been convicted of a federal or state child pornography charge, convicted of any other federal or state sexual assault charge, or formally disciplined for using federal resources to access, use, or sell child pornography.

This section prohibits the use of any appropriated funds to implement, administer, or carry out Executive Order No. 14019 (Promoting Access to Voting), except for sections 7 (requiring an Office of Management and Budget report), 8 (protecting voter privacy), and 10 (defining terms) of the order. (Thus, federal agencies receive no funding for most order-directed activities, such as voter registration promotion through benefit programs and public outreach.)

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act or any other Act from being used to contract with, award grants to, or otherwise obligate or expend for NewsGuard Technologies, Inc. (doing business as NewsGuard); Disinformation Index, Inc., Disinformation Index, Ltd., or Global Disinformation Index gUG (collectively doing business as Global Disinformation Index); or any other entity, including a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, that demonetizes or rates the credibility of a domestic entity (including news and information outlets) based on its lawful speech through fact-checking or efforts to expose or correct misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation.

This section requires each executive branch department and agency to comply with the “Making America Great Again provisions” set out in Executive Orders Nos. 14240, 14274, 14247, 14249, 14208, 14331, 14333, 14339, and 14242 (issued between February 10 and August 25, 2025).

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act or prior appropriations for insurance plans in the Federal Employees Health Benefits program (FEHB)—which provides health coverage to federal civilian employees, retirees, and dependents—to cover surgical procedures, puberty blockers, or hormone therapy for gender-affirming care.

This section directs the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) to notify specified congressional committees—Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate, House Financial Services Committee, and Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee—on the date of any request during FY2026 for a transfer of funds from the Federal Reserve under section 1017 of the Dodd-Frank Act (P.L. 111-203). Such notifications must be posted on the CFPB's public website.

This section appropriates from the applicable funds of the District of Columbia such sums as necessary for refunds and payments of legal settlements or judgments entered against the District of Columbia government.

This section prohibits the use of any federal funds provided in this Act for publicity or propaganda purposes or for implementing any policy—including a boycott—designed to support or defeat legislation pending before Congress or any state legislature.

This section prohibits the reprogramming of federal funds provided under this Act—including those available for obligation or expenditure in FY2026 or derived from fee collections available to agencies funded by this Act—for (1) creating new programs; (2) eliminating a program, project, or responsibility center; (3) establishing or changing allocations specifically denied, limited, or increased under this Act; (4) increasing funds or personnel for any program, project, or responsibility center for which funds have been denied or restricted; (5) re-establishing any program or project previously deferred through reprogramming; (6) augmenting any existing program, project, or responsibility center through a reprogramming exceeding $3 million or 10% (whichever is less); or (7) increasing by 20% or more personnel assigned to a specific program, project, or responsibility center, unless prior approval is received from the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. This section authorizes the District of Columbia government to approve and execute reprogramming and transfer requests of local funds through November 7, 2026.

This section prohibits the District of Columbia from using federal funds provided in this Act to pay salaries, expenses, or other costs associated with the offices of United States Senators or United States Representatives established under section 4(d) of the District of Columbia Statehood Constitutional Convention Initiatives of 1979 (D.C. Official Code § 1-123). (As background, those offices support DC's non-voting "shadow" congressional delegation, which advocates for statehood.)

This section prohibits the use of funds appropriated by this Act or any other Act to provide District of Columbia officers or employees with official vehicles for purposes other than official duties, which excludes travel between residence and workplace except for (1) designated Metropolitan Police Department officers or employees residing in the District of Columbia; (2) at the Fire Chief's discretion, District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department officers or employees residing in the District of Columbia and on call 24 hours a day; (3) at the Department of Corrections Director's discretion, such department officers or employees residing in the District of Columbia and on call 24 hours a day; (4) at the Chief Medical Examiner's discretion, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner officers or employees residing in the District of Columbia and on call 24 hours a day; (5) at the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency Director's discretion, such agency officers or employees residing in the District of Columbia and on call 24 hours a day; (6) the Mayor of the District of Columbia; and (7) the Chairman of the Council of the District of Columbia.

This section prohibits the use of federal funds provided by this Act by the District of Columbia Attorney General or any other District government officer or entity to provide assistance for any petition drive or civil action seeking to require Congress to provide voting representation in Congress for the District of Columbia. It specifies that this prohibition does not apply to the Attorney General reviewing or commenting on briefs in private lawsuits or consulting with District officials regarding such lawsuits.

This section prohibits the use of federal funds provided in this Act to distribute needles or syringes for preventing the spread of blood-borne pathogens (e.g., HIV or hepatitis C) in any location deemed inappropriate by local public health or law enforcement authorities.

This section clarifies that nothing in this Act prevents the District of Columbia Council or Mayor from addressing contraceptive coverage in health insurance plans and states Congress's intent that any such legislation include a conscience clause providing exceptions for religious beliefs and moral convictions.

This section prohibits the expenditure of District of Columbia government funds for abortions, except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term or the pregnancy results from an act of rape or incest.

This section directs the Chief Financial Officer for the District of Columbia, no later than 30 calendar days after enactment, to submit to the appropriate congressional committees, the Mayor, and the Council a revised FY2026 appropriated funds operating budget—in the format required under section 442 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act—for agencies certified by the CFO as requiring reallocation due to unanticipated changes in program requirements. The revised budget realigns personal services and other-than-personal services data with anticipated actual expenditures while maintaining the total approved appropriation amount.

This section directs the Chief Financial Officer for the District of Columbia to submit, no later than 30 calendar days after enactment, to the appropriate congressional committees, the Mayor, and the Council of the District of Columbia a revised appropriated funds operating budget for the District of Columbia Public Schools that aligns schools’ budgets to actual enrollment. The revised budget must be in the format of the budget submitted by the District of Columbia government pursuant to section 442 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

This section (1) authorizes transfers of operating funds appropriated in this Act to the District of Columbia's enterprise and capital funds, with such funds retaining their appropriation authority consistent with this Act; (2) authorizes the District of Columbia government to reprogram or transfer for operating expenses any local funds transferred or reprogrammed in this or the prior four fiscal years from operating funds to capital funds, with such funds retaining their appropriation authority consistent with this Act; and (3) prohibits the District of Columbia government from transferring or reprogramming for operating expenses any funds derived from bonds, notes, or other obligations issued for capital projects.

This section prohibits funds appropriated by the Act from remaining available for obligation beyond the current fiscal year or being transferred to other appropriations, unless expressly provided otherwise in the Act.

This section permits up to 50% of unobligated balances remaining available at the end of FY2025 from FY2026 salaries and expenses appropriations to remain available through September 30, 2027, for authorized purposes in each such account, subject to prior approval by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in accordance with reprogramming guidelines in section 803 of this Act.

This section appropriates District of Columbia local funds for FY2027, during any period when neither a continuing resolution nor a regular District appropriation bill is in effect, at the rate for each project or activity provided in the District's approved budget act (subject to modifications enacted by the District as of the start of such period). Such appropriations, available under the authority and conditions of this Act, cease upon enactment of a continuing resolution or regular bill for FY2027; cover obligations incurred during the applicable period; do not apply if other law provides or prohibits funding or authority for the project or activity; and do not affect the District's mandatory obligations under other law. (Thus, the District government may continue operations funded by local revenues pending federal action on its budget.)

This section exempts railroads installed pursuant to the Long Bridge Project from the prohibition on constructing railroads within the District of Columbia (D.C. Code § 9-1201.03). (As background, the Long Bridge Project is the joint District of Columbia-Virginia initiative to construct a new Long Bridge over the Potomac River adjacent to the existing bridge, including related infrastructure to expand commuter and regional passenger rail service and provide bicycle and pedestrian access.)

This section directs each federal agency and District of Columbia government agency appropriated federal funds in this Act to submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, not later than 45 days after the end of each quarter, a budget report on total obligations for that quarter for each such appropriation, by source year.

This section prohibits the use of federal funds by the District of Columbia government to carry out the Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act of 2014 (D.C. Law 20-261)—which bars employers from discriminating against employees based on reproductive health decisions (e.g., contraception or abortion)—or to implement related rules or regulations.

This section amends sec. 602(a) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to prohibit the D.C. Council from enacting any law, rule, or regulation permitting assisted suicide activities (as restricted under sec. 3(a) of the Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act of 1997, 42 U.S.C. 14402(a)) or reducing related penalties; and repeals the Death with Dignity Act of 2016 (D.C. Law 21-182). (As background, the Death with Dignity Act legalized physician-assisted death for terminally ill D.C. residents aged 18 or older with a prognosis of six months or less to live.)

This section requires the District of Columbia to submit a report to the Committees no later than 60 calendar days after enactment of this Act on its enforcement of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. The report must address: (1) how health care providers are alerted to their compliance responsibilities; (2) responses to potential violations; (3) the number of potential violations investigated in the past five years; (4) preservation of each child’s remains for examination; (5) investigations of each child’s death and their results; (6) directions to the Chief Medical Examiner to perform autopsies under D.C. law; (7) directions for subsequent autopsies by independent pathologists; and (8) proper burial of each child.

This section prohibits the District of Columbia government from using any available funds to carry out title IX of the Fiscal Year 1997 Budget Support Act of 1996 (i.e., the Health Care Benefits Expansion Act of 1996, codified at D.C. Official Code § 50-2209.01 et seq., which requires D.C. agencies to provide health benefits to domestic partners of government employees).

This section repeals Section 5 of the Corrections Oversight Improvement Omnibus Amendment Act of 2022 (D.C. Law 24–344), which amended D.C. Official Code § 16–5505 (governing pretrial detention decisions in D.C. Superior Court), and restores that code section to its pre-2022 version. Subsection (b) applies the repeal retroactively as if included in the 2022 Act.

This section prohibits the use of any funds available to the District of Columbia government to implement the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022 (D.C. Law 24-344)—which permits non-citizen residents to vote in local D.C. elections—or to conduct activities related to enrolling or registering non-citizens on voter rolls for local elections.

This section authorizes an individual with a valid concealed carry permit from any U.S. state or territory to possess and carry a concealed handgun, magazine, and ammunition in the District of Columbia and areas governed by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.

This section prohibits the obligation or expenditure of any funds by the District of Columbia government, under any authority, to carry out the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022 (D.C. Law 24–345).

This section repeals sections 102(a)(3) and 102(c)(1)(B) of the Youth Rehabilitation Amendment Act of 2018 (D.C. Law 22-197) and restores any provisions of D.C. law amended by those sections to their pre-2018 condition. (Thus, it reverses targeted changes to D.C. youth rehabilitation and juvenile justice requirements, such as those related to eligibility and disposition in the D.C. family division.)

This section prohibits the use of federal funds provided in this Act to enact or carry out any law, rule, or regulation to legalize or reduce penalties for the possession, use, or distribution of Schedule I controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act (i.e., substances such as marijuana with high abuse potential and no accepted medical use) or any tetrahydrocannabinols derivative. It further prohibits the District of Columbia government from using any available funds to enact any such measure for recreational purposes.

This section prohibits the use of funds provided by this Act or available for obligation or expenditure by the District of Columbia government under any authority to implement D.C. Law 25-304, the Insurance Regulation Amendment Act of 2024, or any rule or regulation promulgated to carry out such Act.

This section prohibits the District of Columbia government from using funds provided by this Act or available under any authority to implement or enforce the Consumer Protection Procedures Act (D.C. Code § 28-3901 et seq.) against oil and gas companies for environmental claims.

This section amends the District of Columbia College Access Act of 1999, which provides tuition and fee grants to eligible District residents attending public colleges in the District or certain private nonprofit institutions, as follows: (1) in section 3, increases the maximum annual grant to $15,000 (from $10,000) and the maximum aggregate grant per student to $75,000 (from $50,000), and requires—if funds are insufficient after initial ratable reductions—a second round of ratable reductions applying only to grants exceeding $10,000; and (2) in section 5, increases the maximum annual grant to $3,750 (from $2,500) and the maximum aggregate grant per student to $18,750 (from $12,500), and requires—if funds are insufficient after initial ratable reductions—a second round of ratable reductions applying only to grants exceeding $2,500. (Thus, both programs prioritize smaller grants during funding shortfalls.)

This section prohibits the obligation or expenditure of any funds available to the District of Columbia under any authority to carry out title I or title II of the Human Rights Sanctuary Amendment Act of 2022 (D.C. Official Code § 2–1461.01 et seq.).
