This is the House Appropriations bill that funds the Treasury Department, the IRS, the federal judiciary, the District of Columbia, the White House and Executive Office of the President, and dozens of independent agencies (FCC, FTC, SEC, SBA, GSA, OPM, CPSC, FEC, NARA, USPS, and others) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027. It sets specific dollar levels for each account — for example, $3.04 billion for IRS taxpayer services, $3.6 billion for IRS enforcement, $920.9 million for federal court security, $2.03 billion for the SEC (offset by fees), $383.6 million for the FTC, $390.2 million for the FCC, and $277.6 million for the CDFI Fund — and caps the IRS firearms and ammunition stockpile at its December 22, 2022 level. The bill carries an unusually long list of policy riders: it bars the IRS from developing a free public e-filing tool without committee approval, blocks Treasury from working on a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency, blocks the SEC's climate-disclosure rule, blocks federal procurement of electric vehicles, bars any funds for diversity-equity-and-inclusion or Critical Race Theory programs, prohibits Federal Employee Health Benefits coverage of abortion (with rape, incest, and life-of-the-mother exceptions) and of gender-affirming surgery, puberty blockers, or hormone therapy, and prohibits agencies from classifying U.S. persons' speech as mis/dis/mal-information or contracting with NewsGuard or the Global Disinformation Index. A separate set of District of Columbia riders repeals the DC Death With Dignity Act, blocks DC from legalizing or reducing penalties on Schedule I drugs (including recreational marijuana), blocks DC's police-reform and youth-rehabilitation laws, bars enforcement of DC's right-turn-on-red ban and California vehicle-emission standards, and lets out-of-state concealed-carry permit holders carry handguns in DC and on Metro. The bill also raises the Federal Reserve consolidated-asset threshold in Regulation Y appendix C — the cutoff that determines which bank holding companies face heightened capital and risk-management oversight — from its current $10 billion level to $12 billion, and zeroes out the spending-reduction account.
