In Committee
FY2026 funding and policy controls for Treasury and federal agencies would set budgets and attach broad policy limits across the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office, the Judiciary, and many independent agencies. It would combine detailed appropriations with transfer caps, reporting deadlines, procurement and personnel rules, and moratoria on several rulemakings.

31 provisions identified: 9 benefits, 5 costs, 17 mixed.
If enacted, agencies could not track your identifiable visits to government websites or buy such data. They could still use anonymous stats, take voluntary info, do lawful enforcement, and protect site security. This would broadly protect user privacy online.
If enacted, Treasury could not use this Act’s funds to advise on or help design a U.S. central bank digital currency. Treasury also could not join any decision to end paper cash as legal tender. Within 90 days of enactment, Treasury would need to send Congress a plan to securely hold federal digital assets, including any Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. The plan must cover custody design, legal authority, cybersecurity, and interagency transfer steps.
If enacted, Treasury could directly hire staff to work IRS backlogs. In FY2026, the IRS would use funds to add 1-800 phone staff and improve facilities, with priority for victims of tax-related crimes. The IRS would also send a confirmation any time an employer changes its address, to both the old and new address. Taxpayers harmed by a fraudulent payroll preparer would get special consideration for offers-in-compromise.
If enacted, agencies could not require federal contract bidders to disclose political contributions as a condition to bid. Agencies also could not take adverse actions against people or groups for acting on a belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. Adverse actions include changing tax status, denying grants, contracts, or jobs, or cutting federal benefits.
If enacted, agencies could not enforce nondisclosure rules that block employees from reporting waste, abuse, or danger to Congress or inspectors. The government also could not fund contractors or grantees that gag workers from legally reporting fraud to federal investigators.
If enacted, the FCC would be barred from changing certain high-cost universal service support rules for competitive carriers in ways that conflict with the July 15, 2015 rules. The FCC could design a new mechanism, like the 5G Fund for Rural America, but current high-cost support must continue until the new program starts.
If enacted, Treasury and the IRS could not change the standard for what counts as a 501(c)(4) social welfare group during fiscal year 2026. The definitions in place on January 1, 2010 would apply to groups formed before or after enactment.
If enacted, FinCEN could not use funds to enforce beneficial-ownership reporting rules that a Federal court found unconstitutional or not aligned with Congress’s intent. This includes rules for small businesses and homeowners associations. Treasury would also need to report to Congress within 90 days on ownership data submitted after January 1, 2024 and held by Treasury.
If enacted, FEHB plans could not use these funds to cover abortions or plan admin costs tied to abortion, except to save the mother’s life or for rape or incest. FEHB plans also could not cover gender-affirming surgeries, puberty blockers, or hormone therapy. Enrollees could face higher out-of-pocket costs or lose coverage for these services.
If enacted, the District of Columbia could not spend federal funds on abortion care, except to save the mother’s life or for rape or incest. People in DC who relied on federal funding could face higher out-of-pocket costs or less access.
If enacted, pay for the Vice President and certain senior appointees would be frozen at December 31, 2025 levels for calendar year 2026. Prevailing-rate federal workers could not be paid more than their September 30, 2025 rates for service after that date, unless OPM allows exceptions for hiring or retention.
If enacted, anyone with a valid carry permit from any state or territory could carry a concealed handgun in DC and on WMATA. This would make travel easier for permit-holders but would change local safety rules for commuters.
If enacted, the IRS would have to safeguard tax return privacy and fight identity theft in 2026. IRS staff would get training on taxpayer rights and fair treatment. The IRS could not target groups for ideology or for exercising First Amendment rights. In 2026, IRS bonuses or rehiring would need conduct and tax-compliance checks. The IRS would face limits on shifting money across its budgets and could not move money into Enforcement.
If enacted, the SBA could not create or expand any direct lending program that was not in effect on January 1, 2024. At the same time, up to 3% of SBA Salaries and Expenses and Business Loans funds could be moved to SBA’s IT modernization fund with advance approval. Those transferred IT funds would stay available through September 30, 2029.
If enacted, SBA could not force small businesses to comply with ECOA section 704B using these funds. SBA transfers would be capped at 5% from a source account and could not raise a receiving account by more than 10%, and must follow reprogramming rules. SBA could not hire in its DC office until a senior manager is hired in Coachella Valley, CA.
If enacted, federal funds from this or other Acts could not go to states or localities that allow non-citizens to vote in federal elections. Local services there could lose federal dollars.
If enacted, agencies could not move FY2026 funds to create or expand programs without approval, including reprogrammings over $3,000,000 or 10% and big staffing changes. DC could move local funds under this title through November 7, 2026. The White House could shift up to 10% between certain accounts with committee approval, but no account could grow by more than 50%.
If enacted, agencies could not use these funds to legalize or cut penalties for Schedule I drugs, including THC derivatives. The District of Columbia also could not use available funds to legalize recreational possession or use.
If enacted, funds could not be used to ban gas stoves as a class. Two CPSC rules for off-highway vehicles would be paused until a National Academy of Sciences study is done and reported to Congress. This would keep products on the market while delaying possible safety standards.
If enacted, agencies could not buy or lease vehicles from firms owned or controlled under PRC law, including named companies and affiliates, or from makers tied to certain DoD-listed entities. Agencies also could not buy battery electric vehicles, EV batteries, chargers, or EV infrastructure with these funds. Hybrids, including plug-in hybrids, would still be allowed.
If enacted, the government could buy commercial IT products without applying Buy American rules. This could lower procurement costs and open bids to more suppliers, including foreign firms.
If enacted, agencies could not award to corporations with a federal felony conviction in the past 24 months or with certain unpaid federal tax debts, unless safety steps are taken. Agencies also could not contract with foreign firms treated as inverted domestic corporations, unless waived for national security and reported to Congress. Existing contracts would not be affected.
If enacted, some DC College Access awards would rise. Key caps increase from $10,000 to $15,000 and $50,000 to $75,000. Other amounts increase from $2,500 to $3,750 and $12,500 to $18,750. If an award is above these limits, tuition and fee payments would be reduced proportionally.
If enacted, Executive orders and certain Presidential memoranda in 2026 would need an OMB statement showing costs, benefits, and revenues over five years. For emergency orders, OMB could provide it within 15 days. Memoranda need estimates only if regulatory costs exceed $100,000,000.
This bill would bar the IRS from building or offering a free public e-file service unless Congress’s tax and appropriations committees first approve it. The limit would take effect on enactment and apply to money from this and any other Act.
During FY2026, agencies that separate certain retiring employees would pay into the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. The amount would equal OPM’s average cost to process a retirement claim from the prior year. OPM could use these remittances for its administrative expenses.
If enacted, new or renewed federal contracts that include drug coverage would also need to cover contraceptives. Named religious plans and any carrier with a religious objection would be exempt. Plans could not punish workers who refuse to provide contraceptives for religious or moral reasons.
If enacted, agencies could not fund trainings not tied to job duties or likely to cause strong stress, or that use certain belief-system methods. Agencies could not hire, promote, or keep people convicted of child pornography or other sexual assault crimes, or those disciplined for using federal resources in such crimes.
If enacted, agencies would have to report each conference that cost over $100,000, and quarterly report those over $20,000 in FY2026. Grants and contracts could not pay for conferences unrelated to the award. Regulators could not accept travel payments from the companies they regulate, except from 501(c)(3) charities.
If enacted, agencies would have to say when ads, emails, or videos were paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Grantees would have to state how much Federal money and non-government funds pay for their projects, in both dollars and percent. This would improve transparency but add reporting work for agencies and recipients.
If enacted, agencies could transfer up to $29 million to GSA’s Federal Citizen Services Fund with OMB approval. GSA must send a detailed spend plan within 90 days of enactment, and transfers must wait 15 days after notifying Appropriations. Agencies could also move up to $15 million for coordination and $17 million for innovations to GSA’s Government-wide Policy account, with OMB’s plan due in 90 days and the same 15-day notice. Separately, up to 50% of unused FY2026 salary funds could carry into FY2027 with Appropriations approval, following section 803 rules.

Deny Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon. This bill would use sustained "maximum pressure" through expanded sanctions, tighter banking bans, and new watchlists to block Iran's nuclear, missile, and proxy networks.

Would deepen U.S.-Israel defense cooperation by creating new joint programs, offices, and multi-year funding to develop and deploy counter-unmanned systems and other emerging defense technologies. - U.S. military and Department of Defense: Creates a United States–Israel Counter-Unmanned Systems Program and a program office, authorizes $150 million per year for 2026–2030, and requires annual unclassified reports. - U.S. and Israeli defense industries and tech firms: Authorizes joint research, testing, and procurement across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum, and automation with $50 million per year for 2026–2030 and a framework for cost sharing and intellectual property. - Regional partners and missile defense planners: Requires an assessment of integrated air and missile defense in the U.S. Central Command area with an unclassified report in 180 days and extends the War Reserves Stockpile Authority beyond January 1, 2029.

Boost VA mental health workforce and Vet Center capacity. This bill would reform pay and hiring rules, modernize Vet Center outreach and technology, and fund targeted programs for women, transitioning service members, and veterans with special needs. - Veterans and transitioning service members would get stronger outreach and coordination, expanded annual mental health consultations for those with mental health disability claims, and reviews of group retreat services to address demand and accessibility. - Vet Center staff and operations would face new pay-transparency and market-survey requirements, temporary licensure flexibilities for clinicians, and a 60-day review to decide whether to keep or replace the Vet Center network IT platform. - Women veterans and specialized-care groups would see targeted studies and program changes, including a study and one-year report on women’s suicide prevention and outreach, REACH VET updates to weight women-specific risks, a Parker G. Fox grant cap raised to $1.0 million and extended to six years, and pilots for residential treatment for veterans with spinal cord injuries.
HR644 — Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Amendments Act of 2025
National Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia program expansion would broaden federal coordination, science, and funding to address harmful algal blooms and low-oxygen zones across marine, estuarine, and freshwater systems. It would create a standing interagency Task Force, require Action Strategies and scientific assessments at least every five years, and add the Department of Energy to participating agencies. - Families and subsistence users would see explicit consideration of food safety, subsistence use, and cultural impacts in assessments and strategies, with special focus on protections for low-income, Tribal, and rural communities. - Federal science and response capabilities would be strengthened. NOAA and EPA roles in monitoring, forecasting, data management, and coordination would expand, a National Harmful Algal Bloom Observing Network would be created, and a National-Level Incubator would fund prevention and mitigation technologies. - Federal agencies would get dedicated funding and tools to act. The bill would authorize annual appropriations for 2026–2030 of $19.5 million to NOAA, $8.0 million to EPA, and $2.0 million per year for amended Section 9(g) activities, and it would add limited transfer authority to move funds among agencies. This bill would authorize roughly $29.5 million per year for 2026–2030 and therefore increase federal spending.
HR3593 — Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2025
Strengthens and expands federal support for nursing education to address workforce shortages.

It would also authorize partnerships with health care facilities, nurse-managed clinics, and community health centers to expand clinical education sites. - Survivors and patient access: It would expand eligibility to include survivors of sexual assault in addition to survivors of domestic violence for certain Title VIII supports. It would increase authorized Title VIII funding, raising annual authorizations from $137.8 million to $184.3 million and from $117.1 million to $121.1 million for 2026–2030, increasing federal spending by about $50.5 million per year.
