2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

More energy bill help for low-income

If enacted, the bill would transfer $1 billion to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for fiscal year 2026. The money would come from funds already appropriated under two named appropriations acts and would be treated as if it were appropriated under LIHEAP’s section 2602(b) for FY2026. Low-income households eligible for LIHEAP and the agencies that run LIHEAP grants would be the intended recipients of this additional funding. The change would take effect after the bill’s enactment.

Ban government funds to Board of Peace

If enacted, the bill would bar using any funds from two named appropriations acts to make money available to the Board of Peace named in Executive Order 14375. The prohibition would apply after the date of enactment and would prevent that specific public international organization from receiving those appropriated funds. The restriction is targeted to that designated organization and the cited appropriations.
