## Summary

**Restores prior law by undoing specific reconciliation changes from Public Law 119-21.** This bill would repeal Subtitle A of title I and Subtitle B of title VII of that reconciliation act and revive any statutes and regulations those provisions altered as if the amendments had never happened. - Families and program participants would see rules and benefits returned to how they stood before the Public Law 119-21 changes, which could affect eligibility or benefit terms that had been changed. - Federal agencies would revert to enforcing the pre-reconciliation statutes and regulatory structures rather than the provisions added by Public Law 119-21. - No new programs, funding authorizations, eligibility changes, or enforcement powers are created beyond reinstating the prior statutory framework.

## Provisions PRIA read
