Stronger privacy rules for your data

If enacted for fiscal year 2026, agencies would be barred from collecting or aggregating personal data on how people use government websites, and from hiring third parties to gather personal browsing data about nongovernment sites.

Agencies would also be barred from sharing non‑public mailing or contact lists with outsiders without approval from House and Senate Appropriations Committees.

Faster IRS help and refunds

If enacted, the IRS would be able to hire people directly to process backlogged returns, speeding refunds and processing. The IRS would also get funds to improve its 1‑800 help line and add staff. The Commissioner would prioritize faster responses, especially for victims of tax‑related crimes.

More support and easier orders for small firms

If enacted, the SBA would get $106.862 million for named small business initiatives. SBA could award some funds to subrecipients and could not move this money to other uses. The State Department could place task orders with small or small disadvantaged firms under this Act’s IDIQ contracts without the usual fair‑opportunity step through September 30, 2027.

The Secretary of State could move up to $50 million of expired Diplomatic Programs funds to protect foreign missions and officials.

More aid for police training and safer prisons

If enacted, foreign aid could fund training to improve civilian policing, human rights, and community policing. Lethal assistance packages would include combat casualty care training and equipment, with exceptions for NATO allies, certain partners, or those complying with humanitarian law. Funds could help eliminate inhumane prison conditions after State consults Congress. U.S. funds could not support or justify torture, and aid could help foreign security forces stop torture.

More funding for global security programs

This bill would fund several security programs abroad. It would provide $870 million for nonproliferation, counterterrorism, and demining, available until September 30, 2027. It would set at least $108 million for the Prevention and Stabilization Fund and at least $192.375 million for disaster preparation. It would also set at least $300 million to counter Russian influence, with some of these funds available until September 30, 2027.

Support for African peace and war-crimes courts

If enacted, at least $60 million would back the June 27, 2025 peace agreement for the Great Lakes region. It would also fund programs in areas hit by the LRA and other armed groups, such as roads, communications, and reintegration of former fighters, with a focus on child soldiers. Funds could support the Special Criminal Court in the Central African Republic. The President would be able to provide up to $30 million in goods and services to U.N. war‑crimes tribunals when needed to support justice, with required notifications.

Stronger whistleblower rights and staffing checks

If enacted, the bill would block federal funds for deals that stop workers from lawfully reporting fraud, waste, or abuse. Nondisclosure forms funded by this Act would need to state they do not override legal whistleblower rights; classified secrecy forms remain in force. Agencies could not pay Schedule C employees detailed to the White House unless the agency head certifies the position was not created mainly to send the person there, with an exception for the intelligence community.

Limits on federally funded syringe programs

If enacted, federal money in this bill could not be used to distribute needles or syringes at any location local health or police deem inappropriate. This restriction would apply in fiscal year 2026. People who rely on these programs could face reduced access.

Tighter hiring and pay limits for federal workers

If enacted, pay for certain prevailing‑rate and executive employees after September 30, 2025 would be capped at the applicable grade and step, with FY2026 wage survey adjustments limited by formula. OPM could grant exceptions to recruit or retain staff. Agencies could not pay non‑citizens for posts in the continental U.S. unless they meet listed statuses, and applicants would need affidavits of status. Knowingly filing a false affidavit would be a felony, and narrow exceptions would apply.

Aid blocked for extradition, terror arms, defaults

If enacted, aid would be barred to any government that supplies lethal equipment to a state the U.S. lists as supporting international terrorism. The bar would end 12 months after the government stops and can be waived for national interest. Aid would also be blocked to central governments that refuse required extraditions where a treaty exists and is being violated, with humanitarian and law‑enforcement exceptions. Aid would be barred to governments in default on U.S. loans for over a year unless the President, after consulting Congress, finds a national interest.

No foreign aid for abortion or coercive sterilization

If enacted, funds under Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act would not pay for abortions as family planning or for involuntary sterilization. Funds could not be used to motivate, coerce, or pay for such procedures, or to fund related biomedical research. The President could block funds to any country or group that would violate these prohibitions.

No federal awards to felon or tax-delinquent firms

For fiscal year 2026, agencies would be barred from using funds to award contracts, grants, loans, or guarantees to any corporation with a federal felony conviction in the past 24 months that the agency knows about. Awards would also be barred to corporations with assessed, unpaid federal tax debt after all appeals, unless they are paying on time under an agreement. Agencies could proceed only after considering suspension or debarment and finding no further action is needed to protect the government.

Reproductive health rules for federal workers and DC

If enacted, new federal contracts that include prescription drug coverage would also need to cover contraceptives, unless a named religious plan or a carrier objects on religious grounds. The bill would not require abortion coverage and would bar punishing people who refuse to provide contraceptives for religious or moral reasons. For FEHB, this Act's funds would not pay for abortions or for plan administration if the plan covers abortion, except when the mother’s life is at risk or in cases of rape or incest. For fiscal year 2026, DC government funds would not pay for abortions except for those same narrow exceptions.

Federal worker privacy, training, and Congress contact

If enacted, agencies could not give a federal worker’s home address to a labor union without the worker’s OK or a court order. Funds could not be used for training that is not job‑related, that induces high emotional stress, or that lacks prior notice and a written evaluation. The government would also stop paying supervisors who block or punish employees for contacting Congress about work matters.

Aid to Central America, Colombia, Nigeria tied to results

If enacted, 50% of some aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras would be held until anti‑corruption, rule‑of‑law, migration, and other benchmarks are certified. Humanitarian, food security, and some justice programs would be exempt, and most FMF would be blocked except emergency humanitarian uses. For Colombia, 25% of certain counternarcotics funds and 20% of FMF would be held until certifications on coca reduction, cooperation, and human rights are met. For Nigeria, 50% would be held until steps to prevent violence and help victims are certified, with a required five‑year audit of prior U.S. assistance.

IRS: no targeting; keep 2010 501(c)(4) rules

If enacted, the IRS would be barred from targeting groups or people based on their beliefs or First Amendment activity. For fiscal year 2026, the IRS and Treasury would have to use the 2010 standard to judge 501(c)(4) social‑welfare status and could not issue new broad guidance on that standard. The IRS would also need to weigh conduct and federal tax compliance before paying bonuses or rehiring former employees.

No aid to Russian government; fund countering influence

If enacted, funds could not assist the central government of Russia. The U.S. would direct representatives at international lenders to oppose aid that violates Ukraine’s sovereignty. At least $300 million would be provided for a fund to counter Russian influence.

Peace Corps funding and new limits

This bill would provide $410.5 million for Peace Corps operations through September 30, 2027, including $7.8 million for the Inspector General. It would allow up to $5 million to move to a currency fluctuation account and cap representation expenses at $104,000. The Director would need to consult Congress before opening or closing country programs, except when volunteer safety is at risk. No funds could be used to pay for abortions.

Stricter rules on West Bank and Gaza aid

Before spending FY2026 funds, the Secretary of State would need to certify auditors can access U.S. financial records. Aid would be vetted to avoid people or groups tied to terrorism, and some security aid would be held until reports and benchmarks are met. Up to $1.4 million would fund added audits, and a GAO audit would be required. No funds could assist the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation.

Tighter controls on foreign aid spending

The bill would tighten aid rules and transparency. If a country taxes U.S. aid in FY2026 and does not repay by September 30, 2027, the U.S. would withhold 200% of those taxes from FY2027 aid and could reprogram it. Agencies would need to post required reports online within 45 days, improve records and cybersecurity, and speed up FOIA responses. Local currencies generated by U.S. aid would have to be held in separate accounts with agreed uses. State would deliver a multi‑year foreign aid strategy in 180 days, set aside $15 million for impact evaluations, and allow innovation awards up to $500,000. State aircraft could be reassigned when no longer needed, and recipient countries would cover operation costs when practical.

Tighter controls on State Department aid

If enacted, direct government‑to‑government aid would require anti‑corruption steps and meeting listed legal standards. Aid over $2,500,000, cash transfers, or budget support would need committee notice, and assistance must be suspended if there is credible misuse unless justified or corrected. State could shift up to 5% among accounts, but no account could grow by more than 10%, with some $50,000,000 transfers allowed after consultation. Agencies would need 15 days’ notice before major program changes, and Section 7055 terms would apply with a date updated to September 30, 2025.

UN payments tied to reforms and review

If enacted, the U.S. would withhold 10% of payments to UN bodies until they meet transparency, audit, whistleblower, and related standards. Support for the UN Human Rights Council would pause until the Secretary of State finds participation is in the national interest. That pause would end on September 30, 2026, unless lifted sooner.

New contracting rules: no inversions, IT exception

The bill would bar contracts with foreign‑incorporated companies treated as inverted domestic corporations, with a national security waiver and no effect on older contracts. It would also let the government buy commercial IT without applying Buy American Act limits on nondomestic items.

Tighter export finance to protect security and producers

Ex‑Im Bank funds would not support nuclear exports to any country that detonates a nuclear explosive after enactment, with exceptions for eligible nuclear‑weapon states. U.S. funds, Ex‑Im, and the U.S. Development Finance Corporation would be barred from financing foreign commodity production that would create world surpluses and substantially injure U.S. producers. Narrow exceptions and an Ex‑Im Board override with notice to Congress would apply.

Tougher rules at global lenders

If enacted, the U.S. would push international financial institutions to independently evaluate at least 35% of their operations and disclose who owns extractive‑industry recipients. U.S. directors would oppose projects with weaker safeguards than the World Bank had on September 30, 2015. They would also oppose lending to China. Treasury would report within 120 days on prior‑year funds provided to China through intermediary funds.

IRS training and taxpayer safeguards

If enacted, the IRS would keep training staff on taxpayers’ rights, courteous treatment, cross‑cultural relations, ethics, and impartial rules. The IRS would send a notice to both the old and new addresses when an employer changes the address used for employment tax payments. IRS staff would give special consideration to offers‑in‑compromise from victims of payroll‑preparer fraud.

Aid for health and cleanup in Vietnam

The bill would direct aid to Vietnam. It would provide at least $30 million for health and disability programs and $20 million for dioxin cleanup. It would add $3 million for wartime reconciliation work and $3.5 million for higher education programs.

Allow NGO aid despite country bans

This would let the U.S. fund NGO programs in countries with some aid restrictions. The President would have to notify Congress and explain the program and reasons first. It would not change the bans on abortion‑related funding or apply to terrorist supporters or serious human‑rights violators.

Ban entry for corrupt foreign officials

Foreign officials and their immediate family would be barred from entering the U.S. when there is credible information of major corruption or gross human rights abuses. The Secretary of State would report to Congress every 90 days until September 30, 2027, and may waive the ban for compelling national interests.

Limits on who can get Act funds

Agencies could not use funds to enforce any regulation Congress has disapproved by joint resolution. Money could not go to anyone convicted under chapter 83 of title 41. Agencies could not use funds to pay or reimburse non‑Federal intervenors in regulatory or adjudicatory cases.

USADF may waive small project caps

The U.S. African Development Foundation could waive its $250,000 project cap in rare cases. A project could exceed the cap by up to 10% if the extra cost is only from currency changes. USADF would report each use of this authority. The waiver option would end on September 30, 2027.

Clear labels on agency-made news

Agencies would need to clearly disclose when they prepare or fund prepackaged news for U.S. audiences. Appropriated money could not be used for domestic publicity or propaganda unless Congress already approved it.

Keep passport and consular services funded

If enacted for fiscal year 2026, the State Department could use fraud prevention fees to cover consular service costs. The Secretary could shift some State Department funds into Consular and Border Security Programs, with consultation and a report, to sustain consular operations. The bill would also apply existing passport fee rules to cover consular service costs through fiscal year 2026.

More oversight of IT budgets and grants

If enacted, agency CIOs would have a clear role in planning and approving IT budget allocations with CFOs. All solicitations and grants using this Act’s funds would need to follow federal grant rules in 2 CFR part 200. Grantees would also need to disclose the percent and dollar amount of federal and non‑government funds in public project documents.

Targeted funds for anti-drug programs

If enacted, the bill would add $7.071 million for the Office of National Drug Control Policy for named projects. These funds could only be used for those projects and could not be moved to other purposes.

More support for U.S. commercial diplomacy

Missions would prioritize funds to support U.S. commercial diplomacy and protect U.S. economic interests. At least $5 million would improve State–Commerce coordination, with prior consultation and notification. The money could not subsidize or copy the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service or fund programs inside the U.S.

Small boosts and rules for global finance

If enacted, Treasury would get $30 million for international technical assistance, available until spent, with flexibility to hire contractors anywhere. Up to $20 million would cover Export‑Import Bank program costs, available through September 30, 2029, with disbursements of FY2026–FY2029 obligations allowed through September 30, 2041. Treasury would also instruct the U.S. director at the IMF to push for IMF loans to be repaid before private or other multilateral creditors.

Ban on D.C. legalizing Schedule I drugs

Federal funds in this bill could not be used to legalize or reduce penalties for Schedule I drugs or certain THC derivatives. The rule would also stop the District of Columbia from using these funds to legalize recreational use.

Fees for retirements and White House events

If enacted, agencies would pay the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund an amount equal to OPM’s average cost to process each covered retirement in fiscal year 2026. Sponsors of reimbursable political events at the Executive Residence would have to prepay the estimated cost. The President’s party committee would keep $25,000 on deposit. The Residence would bill within 60 days and try to collect within 30 days, with interest and penalties possible under federal debt rules.

Keep U.S. embassy located in Jerusalem

Funds in this Act would not be used to move the U.S. embassy in Israel away from Jerusalem.

Limits on aid to Sudan and South Sudan

Funds under title IV would not go to the central governments of South Sudan or Sudan unless they support a viable peace agreement. Any new program or activity in Sudan would require prior consultation with Congress.

Loans and aid to Zimbabwe face conditions

U.S. directors at global lenders would vote against loans to Zimbabwe, except for basic needs or democracy support, unless the Secretary of State certifies rule of law is restored. U.S. funds in this Act could not aid Zimbabwe’s central government, except for health and education, without the same certification.

New travel and network limits for agencies

Agencies funded by this Act would face new limits. First‑class travel that breaks travel rules would be banned. Networks would need filters to block sexually explicit sites, with law‑enforcement exceptions. Funds could not promote tobacco sales or remove foreign tobacco rules in most cases. State could not support email or servers outside .gov unless set for automated records. Agencies and staff could not accept travel payments from entities they regulate, except from 501(c)(3) charities.

No aid to Taliban; Pakistan funds withheld

No funds for Wuhan Institute of Virology

No money from this Act would go to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.

Stricter spending plans and oversight reports

State and Treasury would submit spend plans on strict timelines. State bureaus would need financial‑controls certifications or a fix‑it plan. Congress would get advance notice and plans before Enterprise Funds receive money or change operations. Named local recipients would keep records and allow GAO access. The State Department could cut some designated foreign aid amounts only within tight limits and with notice.

Drug-free rules for federal workplaces

Tighter limits on conferences and contractor bonuses

If enacted, agencies would file annual reports for conferences costing more than $100,000 and send quarterly notices within 15 days after a quarter for conferences over $20,000. Agencies could not use funds for a single conference over $500,000 or send more than 50 U.S.‑stationed employees to an overseas conference without a national‑interest finding and advance notice. Agencies would not pay award or incentive fees to contractors with unsatisfactory performance due to delays or cost overruns unless narrow conditions are met and federal rules are followed.

Limits on shifting White House funds

OMB would be able to transfer up to 10% among certain Executive Office accounts with advance approval from the Appropriations Committees. No account could be raised by more than 50% through these transfers. Moving funds from the Vice President’s accounts would need the Vice President’s approval.
