Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026

You may carry in a 90-day supply of a prescription drug from Canada. It must be for your own use. Border officers may not stop you. Controlled drugs and biologic medicines are left out.

The Disaster Relief Fund gets $26.367 billion. The money stays until it is spent. It helps households and local governments. That starts once the President declares a major disaster.

The emergency food and shelter program gets $123.5 million through September 2027. Local groups use it for food, rent, and utility help. Admin costs are capped at 3.5 percent.

Homeland Security may not charge any new fee to cross into Canada or Mexico by land. It may not even study one.

Pay and benefits for the funding gap are funded. The gap began about February 14, 2026. The law says those payments shall be made. It covers workers at every agency.

$140 million pays for a 3.8 percent raise in 2026. It goes to air traffic controllers and the bosses who manage air traffic. The FAA head alone decides if staffing gains earn it. If so, pay is backdated to the first pay period after January 1, 2026.

Up to $33 million may pay Secret Service staff for 2025 overtime. That is above the normal federal pay ceiling. A separate change, backdated to December 31, 2023, also lifts 2024 pay.

Money may not fund studies to swap federal staff for contractors. That covers the Coast Guard center that registers boats. It also covers several immigration service jobs. Training instructor jobs are locked to federal staff.

The law buys and runs body cameras for agents and officers. They must wear them during immigration enforcement. A spending plan was due to Congress within 30 days.

No money in this law may plan, test, or build a national ID card. The bar runs through the 2026 budget year.

Restraints may not be used on pregnant or recovering women in Homeland Security custody. An official may allow them only for a serious flight risk or threat. A doctor may also order them. They are never allowed during labor or delivery. Border officers must also keep a 2021 care policy in place.

No money may buy long-range drones that can strike. It may not add strike gear to one. The same section adds $98 million for unarmed MQ-9 planes for the Coast Guard.

No federal money may move Khalid Sheikh Mohammed into the United States. The same bar covers other non-citizen Guantanamo detainees. They cannot be brought here for trial or release.

The funding tables for ICE and for border security operations are set to $0. That guidance also has no legal force. Money may not be shifted into border security operations. ICE still holds funds from a separate 2025 law.

No money may pay bonus fees to a contractor whose work rated below satisfactory. The same bar covers work that missed the basic terms of the contract.

No federal money may fund deals with companies on a Defense Department list of Chinese military firms. That covers contracts, grants, and loans. The firms they own are covered too.

Homeland Security may not block a Member of Congress from inspecting a detention site. It may not make short-term changes to alter what a visitor sees. Members need give no advance notice. Their named staff can be asked for 24 hours.

FEMA must publish requests to be paid back, listed by state. Each one is split between individual and public aid. Posting is due within 90 days of receipt. It is also due 60 days after final review.

FEMA's own budget drops $100,000 a day if grant forms are not released within 60 days. The same daily cut applies if the monthly disaster report is late. Announcing an award early, before telling Congress, costs $1 million.

No money may destroy records of a death in Homeland Security custody. The same bar covers a possible sexual assault or an abuse claim. People punished over such a claim may ask for those records.

Members of Congress, agency heads, and senior White House staff must be screened. Top Justice Department officials must be too. No money may carry out a law that changes this.

Agencies must post reports sent to Congress on their public websites. The agency head decides when that serves the national interest. Security-sensitive and business-secret reports are held back. Posting waits 45 days. If the rule is missed, the department loses its power to shift money.

The Inspector General gets $20 million just for extra checks on detention sites. The money runs through September 2027. Another $12.8 million tracks spending under a 2025 law.

Amounts for classified programs follow a secret annex that travels with the law. Published figures do not show them. The public cannot see those levels.

A 2004 law required a written report to Congress on an aviation security program. This law swaps every mention of 'report' for 'briefing.' Congress is now told in person instead.

The law gives $30 million more for Supreme Court salaries and expenses. It runs through September 2028. Nothing else in the law concerns the courts.

FEMA must spend $272.7 million on named local projects. They are listed in an earmark table. That includes $83 million for emergency operations centers. Another $189.7 million goes to work that limits damage before disasters strike.

A federal officer may not help hand a working gun to someone the officer suspects works for a drug cartel. The one exception is when U.S. law enforcement watches or controls the gun at all times.
