    2026 Defense Appropriations Act

    House vote · 221-209

    Democrats
    5-206
    Republicans
    216-3

    Official title: Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026

    What this does

    This bill funds the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. It appropriates money account by account across military personnel, operation and maintenance, procurement, research and development, revolving funds, the defense health program, and related intelligence agencies. Military personnel pay and benefits alone run to tens of billions per service branch, including $52.5 billion for the Army and $40.1 billion for the Navy. Shipbuilding is funded at $36.9 billion, including the Columbia and Virginia class submarines and two aircraft carriers. The bill grants the Secretary of Defense authority to transfer up to $6 billion between accounts, and the Director of National Intelligence up to $1.5 billion within the National Intelligence Program. It directs $500 million to Israeli cooperative missile-defense programs and $500 million to a Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative. Beyond funding, the bill carries a block of standing policy riders that bar the Department from spending any of this money on named activities. It prohibits funds for gender-affirming surgery or hormone therapy, for any office of diversity, equity, or inclusion, for programs that advance Critical Race Theory, for enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine requirement on servicemembers, and for drag events on installations or in recruiting. It bars funds from being used to take discriminatory action against a person for holding the belief that marriage is a union of one man and one woman. It bars spending to assist the Azov Battalion, to support the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or to fund EcoHealth Alliance. It reduces the total appropriation by $3.75 billion citing cooperation with the Department of Government Efficiency, and by a further $3 billion tied to a separate reconciliation bill, H.R. 1.

    Nominally single-subject: the entire Act appropriates funds for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2026 and contains no separate legislative division. The coupling is internal. Title VIII, General Provisions, attaches standalone policy riders that a member could not vote on separately. A yes on defense funding was also a yes to banning funds for gender-affirming care (Sec. 8145), for any diversity, equity, or inclusion office (Sec. 8148), for advancing Critical Race Theory (Sec. 8141), for drag events on installations or in recruiting (Sec. 8144), and for enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine requirement on servicemembers (Sec. 8136); to a religious-conscience protection on the belief that marriage is between one man and one woman (Sec. 8139); to a bar on assistance to the Azov Battalion (Sec. 8101); and to a restriction on U.S. Northern Command activity regarding Mexico (Sec. 8118). These riders ride on the must-pass funding vehicle.

    Rescissions Act of 2025

    House vote · 216-213

    Democrats
    0-211
    Republicans
    216-2

    What this does

    This law cancels budget authority the President proposed to rescind in a June 3, 2025 special message, using the rescission process of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act. The rescissions take effect immediately on enactment. Most of the cancelled money is foreign aid: unobligated balances for contributions to international organizations and international peacekeeping, global health programs, migration and refugee assistance, development and economic support funds, disaster assistance, and multilateral funds including the Clean Technology Fund. Individual cancellations include $800,000,000 from Migration and Refugee Assistance, $2,500,000,000 from Development Assistance, $1,650,000,000 from the Economic Support Fund, and $500,000,000 from Global Health Programs. Several rescissions carry provisos protecting specified programs from the cut, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, nutrition, and maternal and child health under Global Health Programs; assistance to Jordan and Egypt and the Countering PRC Influence Fund under the Economic Support Fund; and U.S. commodity-based food aid such as Food for Peace under Development and Disaster Assistance. The law also rescinds all amounts for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

    Single subject in form (rescissions of budget authority) but it reaches across many separate accounts. It is one instrument cancelling funds from foreign-aid programs and public broadcasting alike, so the effects span unrelated policy areas even though the legal action is uniform.

    House vote · 294-134

    Democrats
    78-134
    Republicans
    216-0

    What this does

    The bill creates a federal framework for regulating the buying and selling of digital assets like cryptocurrency, and it splits oversight between two agencies. Titles I through V direct the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission to divide jurisdiction, with the CFTC taking spot markets in "digital commodities" and the SEC keeping investment contracts and securities. It sets registration rules for crypto exchanges, brokers, and dealers, and it exempts certain initial digital commodity offerings from securities registration. Title VI, separately titled the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, amends the Federal Reserve Act to bar the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency. It also prohibits Federal Reserve banks from offering financial products or services directly to an individual or maintaining an account for an individual.

    This bill carries two distinct programs under one Act. Titles I through V build a single digital-asset market-structure regime that divides authority between the CFTC and the SEC. Title VI is the separately named Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which amends the Federal Reserve Act on a different subject, the central bank digital currency question.

    House vote · 219-210

    Democrats

    Republicans
    217-0

    What this does

    This bill bars the Federal Reserve from building or issuing a central bank digital currency. It amends the Federal Reserve Act so a Federal reserve bank may not offer financial products or services directly to an individual, maintain an account for an individual, or issue a central bank digital currency. It also bars a reserve bank from offering such a currency indirectly through a financial institution or other intermediary. It prohibits the Board of Governors from testing, studying, developing, creating, or implementing a central bank digital currency, and bars the Board and the Federal Open Market Committee from using one to conduct monetary policy. A central bank digital currency is defined as digital money denominated in the national unit of account, a direct liability of the Federal Reserve, and widely available to the general public. An exception preserves any dollar currency that is open, permissionless, private, and keeps the privacy protections of physical cash. The bill states the sense of Congress that the Board currently lacks authority to issue such a currency and will not have it unless Congress grants it.

    Every section serves the one subject the title names. The short title, the direct-issuance ban, the indirect-issuance ban, the research-and-monetary-policy prohibition, the private-currency exception, and the closing sense of Congress all address a central bank digital currency and nothing else.

    House vote · 308-122

    Democrats
    102-110
    Republicans
    206-12

    What this does

    Creates the first federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, digital tokens whose issuer is obligated to redeem them for a fixed amount of money. Section 3 makes it unlawful for anyone but a 'permitted payment stablecoin issuer' to issue a payment stablecoin in the United States, with penalties up to $1,000,000 and five years in prison for knowing violations. Section 2 sets up three routes to become a permitted issuer: a subsidiary of an insured bank, a federally qualified issuer approved by the Comptroller of the Currency, or a state-qualified issuer. Section 4 requires issuers to hold reserves backing their coins at least one-to-one in cash, short-term Treasuries, and similar liquid assets, publish monthly reserve disclosures, and it prohibits paying holders any interest or yield. The same section treats issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, with anti-money-laundering and sanctions duties. Issuers whose coin exceeds $10 billion outstanding generally transition to federal oversight, while smaller state issuers may stay under a certified state regime. Section 4 also bars marketing that implies government backing or federal deposit insurance. Section 11 gives stablecoin holders priority over other creditors in an issuer's insolvency, and section 17 clarifies that payment stablecoins from permitted issuers are not securities or commodities. Under section 20 the law takes effect on the earlier of 18 months after enactment or 120 days after final implementing regulations.

    Single subject. Sections 1 through 20 all build one payment-stablecoin regime: who may issue, reserve and disclosure rules, bank-secrecy duties, federal and state supervision, insolvency treatment, custody, foreign issuers, and securities-law carve-outs. There are no separate divisions or unrelated riders, and the GENIUS Act title matches the content.

    House vote · 380-33

    Democrats
    205-1
    Republicans
    175-32

    What this does

    The bill orders the FCC to run a standing advisory council on communications network security. Within 90 days, the FCC must establish a council to advise on the security, reliability, and interoperability of communications networks, or designate an existing advisory committee for that purpose. The FCC Chair appoints the members, who serve 2-year terms. Membership must draw from communications-industry companies, public interest organizations or academic institutions, and federal, state, local, or Tribal governments, with at least one member from each type of government. The Chair may not seat industry, public interest, or academic members determined to be 'not trusted.' An entity is not trusted if the Chair publicly determines it is owned by, controlled by, or subject to the influence of a foreign adversary, or otherwise poses a threat to national security, using the criteria in the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019. Every 2 years the council must submit its reports to the Chair, and the FCC must post them publicly. The council is exempt from the federal advisory committee termination rule, so it does not automatically sunset.

    Every provision serves the one subject the title names, standing up an FCC advisory council on communications network security. The bill sets the deadline, the membership rules, the trust screen, the reporting cycle, and the exemption from automatic termination, all inside one section. There is no unrelated provision and no gap between the title and the content.

    House vote · 360-10

    Democrats
    177-0
    Republicans
    183-10

    What this does

    This bill orders one government report. It directs the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to submit a report to Congress within one year examining the cybersecurity of mobile service networks and their vulnerability to cyberattacks and surveillance by adversaries. The report must assess whether mobile carriers have fixed known vulnerabilities, gauge how much customers weigh cybersecurity when buying service, and estimate the prevalence and effectiveness of the encryption and authentication in use. It must also estimate the cost, availability, and use by adversaries in the United States of cell-site simulators, the interception devices known as IMSI catchers. The report excludes 5G protocols and networks. It must be unclassified but may carry a classified annex, and the Assistant Secretary must redact exploitable information from the public version while giving Congress an unredacted copy. The bill creates no new regulation, funding, or enforcement authority.

    Single-subject. The entire operative text is Section 2, a single directive to produce one report on mobile-network cybersecurity. There is no rider and no unrelated section; the remaining text is the short title and definitions. A yes vote carried only the report mandate.

    Republicans
    161-32

    What this does

    The bill orders three federal technology studies and one pilot, and grants no new regulatory power. It directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to stand up a pilot program within one year to test artificial intelligence for at least one consumer-safety task, such as tracking injury trends, identifying product hazards, monitoring the marketplace for recalled goods, or flagging imports that must be refused entry. It directs the Secretary of Commerce, consulting the Federal Trade Commission and taking public comment, to complete a study within one year on using blockchain to protect consumers from fraud. It directs the Federal Trade Commission to report within one year on its enforcement actions relating to tokens and its recommendations for further legislation. Every provision ends in a study, a pilot, or a report to Congress. The bill creates no enforcement power, no penalties, and no rulemaking authority.

    Single-subject. The bill carries four short titles across three titles, but every title serves one coupled subject: directing federal agencies to explore emerging technology for consumer protection. Title I pilots AI at the CPSC, Title II studies blockchain at Commerce, Title III reports on tokens at the FTC. A single yes commits the government only to one pilot and three reports. No title carries an unrelated rider, new authority, or spending.

    What this does

    The bill renames the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas as the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge and provides that any legal or official reference to the former refuge is treated as a reference to the new name. Its findings state that 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was murdered in Houston on June 17, 2024, that two people the bill describes as illegal aliens allegedly members of the Tren de Aragua gang were charged, and that a March 4, 2025 executive order had already renamed the refuge. The measure carries out that renaming in statute and makes no other change.

    Single subject. The bill renames one wildlife refuge and conforms references to the new name; the findings section supplies context but adds no separate policy.

    0-212
    Republicans
    218-2

    Official title: An act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14.

    What this does

    This is the 2025 budget reconciliation act, a single 338-section package that changes tax, health, energy, immigration, agriculture, defense, and education law at once. It is far too large to lay out in full, so what follows are its major components; a single yes vote carried the entire 338-section package, and the complete detail is in the bill text. On taxes, Congress made the reduced individual income tax rates permanent by striking their scheduled end after 2025, raised the standard deduction, and created new deductions including one for tips capped at $25,000. Congress terminated the clean-vehicle tax credits for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. On health, Congress required states to make Medicaid eligibility conditional on 80 hours a month of work or equivalent activity, beginning no later than 2027. On immigration, Congress appropriated $46,550,000,000 to build the border wall system. Congress added new work-requirement terms to SNAP and shifted more program costs onto states. Congress raised the federal debt limit by $5,000,000,000,000. The bill also opens federal land to oil, gas, and coal leasing, caps and terminates student-loan programs, and rescinds a long list of climate and clean-energy funds.

    Bundle. This is a reconciliation vehicle: one vote carried every committee's instructions at once. A member could not vote for the tax cuts without also voting for the Medicaid work requirement, the $46.55 billion border wall, the $5 trillion debt-limit increase, the clean-energy credit terminations, and the student-loan changes. The coupling point is the reconciliation process itself, which packages unrelated subjects from ten House committees into a single bill that cannot be amended on the floor and passes with a simple Senate majority. The subjects are not germane to one another; they are joined only by the budget procedure.

    Official title: Jeremy and Angel Seay and Sergeant Brandon Mendoza Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act of 2025

    What this does

    This bill makes driving under the influence a ground to keep a noncitizen out of the country and a ground to remove one already here. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act so that any noncitizen who has been convicted of, admits committing, or admits the essential elements of an offense for driving while intoxicated or impaired is inadmissible. For deportability, the trigger is narrower: a noncitizen who has been convicted of such an offense is deportable. The definition of the offense is borrowed from the law of the jurisdiction where it occurred, and it counts whether the conduct is classified as a misdemeanor or a felony under federal, state, tribal, or local law. It covers driving under the influence of or impaired by alcohol or drugs.

    The title says the bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make DUI offenders inadmissible and deportable. The single operative section adds one inadmissibility ground and one deportability ground for that exact conduct. There is no unrelated provision.

    What this does

    The bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to publish, by the seventh day of each month, the number of "special interest aliens" encountered by the Department during the prior month, along with their nationalities or countries of last habitual residence. Each monthly report must be posted on a public DHS webpage and sent to the House and Senate homeland security committees, broken down by geographic region and by whether encounters occurred at ports of entry, between ports, or in the interior, and it must flag any nationalities that are "covered nations." The first report must also cover the period from January 20, 2021, through January 19, 2025. A special interest alien is defined as one who, based on travel-pattern analysis, potentially poses a national security risk.

    Single subject. One operative section creates one recurring DHS reporting duty; the short title matches the content and there are no divisions or unrelated provisions.

    Official title: Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, and Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2026

    What this does

    The bill provides fiscal year 2026 appropriations across three divisions. Division A funds military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs: Veterans Compensation and Pensions at $241,947,603,000, Medical Services at $59,858,000,000, Medical Community Care at $38,700,000,000, and the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund at $52,676,000,000; it rescinds $15,889,000,000 of fiscal year 2025 Medical Services funds and $610,000,000 of Medical Support and Compliance funds previously provided under the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025. Division A also bars funds from closing or realigning Naval Station Guantanamo Bay and from building or expanding facilities in the United States to house Guantanamo detainees. Division B funds Agriculture, Rural Development, the Food and Drug Administration, and related agencies, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program at $118,139,341,000 with a $3,000,000,000 reserve and the WIC program at $8,200,000,000. Division C funds the legislative branch, including Capitol Police salaries of $653,422,000. The text is a Senate substitute that struck everything after the enacting clause of the House-passed bill.

    Three appropriations bills moved as one. A single yes vote was a vote to fund military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs (division A), Agriculture, Rural Development, and the Food and Drug Administration (division B), and the legislative branch (division C). Section 2 states that each division stands as its own Act, and section 3 ties each to its own Senate report. The version is an Engrossed Amendment Senate: the Senate struck all after the enacting clause of the House bill and inserted its own text, so this is the Senate's substitute, though the three-subject title still matches the content. Veterans' health care could not be funded without also funding food stamps and the operations of Congress.

    Republicans
    211-0

    What this does

    Congress would write the definition of "accredited investor" into the Securities Act of 1933 itself, instead of leaving it to the SEC. An accredited investor is a person allowed to buy private, unregistered securities. The bill sets the qualifying thresholds in statute: a net worth over $1,000,000 not counting the person's primary residence, or income over $200,000 (or $300,000 with a spouse) in each of the two most recent years. It adjusts the net-worth and income figures for inflation every five years. It also opens two new paths to accredited status that do not depend on wealth: brokers and investment advisers in good standing qualify, and the SEC may deem a person qualified if they have education or job experience showing professional knowledge of a given investment and a self-regulatory organization verifies it. The bill directs the SEC to revise Regulation D within 180 days to match.

    Single-subject. The entire bill amends one provision, Section 2(a)(15) of the Securities Act of 1933, and adds one conforming SEC rulemaking directive tied to that same amendment. No unrelated sections or riders.

    House vote · 392-14

    Democrats

    202-7

    What this does

    The bill requires the President to impose sanctions on any foreign person the President determines knowingly engages in piracy, defined as any act violating chapter 81 of title 18 of the U.S. Code. The sanctions are two. The President may block all property and interests in property of the person that are in the United States or in the control of a U.S. person, using International Emergency Economic Powers Act authorities. And any such alien is barred from entering the United States, made ineligible for a visa, and has existing visas revoked immediately. The bill carves out exceptions: for admissions required by U.S. obligations to the United Nations, for humanitarian assistance and the sale of food, medicine, and agricultural goods, and for authorized intelligence, law enforcement, and national security activities. It excludes any authority to sanction the importation of goods. In court challenges, classified information behind a determination may be submitted to the judge in secret. The President may waive a sanction by certifying to the foreign affairs committees, at least 15 days ahead, that the waiver is crucial to national security. The bill also records congressional findings on the surge in Somali and Houthi attacks and states a sense of Congress that the United States should work with allies to stop piracy.

    Every operative provision serves one subject: sanctioning foreign persons who engage in piracy. The findings and the sense of Congress set up the sanctions; the sanctions section defines the penalties, the exceptions, the waiver, and the terms. Nothing in the text reaches beyond piracy sanctions. The title matches the content.

It amends Section 4(j)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to require the Advocate to provide educational resources and to host or take part in events for small businesses and small business investors. Those events must raise awareness of capital raising options for underrepresented small businesses, including women-owned and minority-owned firms, for businesses in rural areas, and for small businesses hit by hurricanes or other natural disasters. It also requires the Advocate to meet at least once a year with representatives of State securities commissions to discuss coordination on assisting small businesses and investors.

    What this does

    Places fentanyl-related substances as a class permanently into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, defining the class by five structural modifications to the fentanyl molecule (Section 2). It extends the existing trafficking penalties and import/export penalties that apply to fentanyl analogues so they also cover any fentanyl-related substance (Section 6). Alongside the scheduling, it rewrites the research rules: it creates an expedited registration process for Schedule I research tied to FDA investigational-use drugs or federally funded research, lets a second researcher at the same institution work under one registration, allows a single registration across related research sites in the same city or county, waives a new inspection when a registrant adds a substance in the same or a higher-numbered schedule, lets research continue on a substance newly added to Schedule I while a registration application is pending, and treats small-scale manufacturing as part of research, except for growing marihuana (Section 3). The Attorney General must issue implementing rules within six months and may make them effective immediately as interim final rules (Section 5). The amendments apply as of the date of enactment regardless of when the rules are finalized (Section 7).

    One subject: fentanyl-related substances and the research rules surrounding Schedule I. The permanent class scheduling and its expanded trafficking penalties are coupled in the same bill to a package of research-registration changes, so a single yes adopted both the scheduling and the loosened research procedures. No unrelated rider and no gap between the title and the content.

    Official title: To prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia and to repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022.

    What this does

    This bill bars anyone who is not a United States citizen from voting in the District of Columbia. The prohibition covers elections for public office and any ballot initiative or referendum in the District. To make the ban stick, the bill repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, the D.C. law that had let noncitizen residents vote in local elections. It also revives any law that the 2022 Act had amended or repealed, restoring it as if the 2022 Act had never been enacted.

It strikes the subsection that had removed police discipline from collective bargaining, so DC law enforcement officers can again negotiate discipline matters through collective bargaining. It also repeals the subtitle that had changed the deadline for filing disciplinary cases, and revives the earlier statute of limitations for disciplinary actions against Metropolitan Police Department members and civilian employees as if that subtitle had never been enacted.

    Both operative changes target the same 2022 DC statute (the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act) and the same subject, discipline of DC police. The title matches the text and nothing rides along.
