Your Money
The bill sets the yearly-funded part of the top Pell Grant at $6,385. A separate ongoing fund adds more on top.
States would get $468.7 billion to run Medicaid for the 2027 budget year. Another $321.2 billion covers the start of the next budget year.
Head Start and its infant programs would get $12.37 billion. The program gives free preschool, health checks and meals to low-income children.
The child care block grant would get $8.84 billion. States must use it to add to their own spending, not replace it.
Home energy help would get $4.055 billion for heating and cooling bills. No state could fall below 97 percent of its 2026 share.
SSI pays monthly checks to older, blind or disabled people with little income. Another $24 billion covers the start of the next budget year.
Schools serving many low-income students would share $16.79 billion. Most of it lands in the 2027-2028 school year.
Grants under the disabilities law help schools pay for special education. The money comes in two parts, in July and October 2027.
Laws pointing to current breast screening advice would use the pre-2009 advice. That older advice backs covered mammograms from age 40.
Hospitals with 50 or fewer beds and low local wages would share $100 million. Up to a tenth could go to running costs.
Students could no longer get a subsidized federal loan after July 1, 2027. They may borrow the same amount. But interest would build while they study.
No money may go to the 2022 borrower defense rule. That rule set out how to cancel a loan when a college lied.
The bill sets that ongoing fund at $16.27 billion for 2027. It then drops to $1.236 billion for 2028 and later years.
No money in any law could set up the WISeR model. It would have made patients get approval first for some services.
The CHIP backup fund covers states when more children sign up than planned. The bill locks up $12.33 billion of it this year.
Workers & Jobs
A seafood employer could bring workers in any time within 120 days. After day 90 it must retest the local job market first.
A center may close only under two named performance tests. The Secretary must give written notice before pausing a campus.
No work visa could be approved for an employer convicted of trafficking. A civil judgment counts too, and the bar never lifts.
The bill blocks all money for the heat safety rule proposed in August 2024. Any closely similar rule is blocked too.
The wage floor for H-2A farm workers holds at its October 2, 2025 rate. New wage rate updates are blocked as well.
For H-2B jobs, the government must take an employer's own wage survey. It may refuse only if the survey method is unsound.
No money may enforce the rule promising H-2B workers three-fourths of their hours. A related pay rule goes unenforced too.
The bill changes the wage and hour law for disaster claims adjusters. Those paid at least $591 a week lose overtime for two years.
The labor board could not issue any rule allowing electronic voting. Union elections would stay on paper or in person.
Safety rules go unenforced at employers with 10 or fewer workers in safer industries. Complaints, deaths and imminent dangers are still covered.
The Labor Department could not pay for marijuana as a medical treatment. That holds even if federal drug rules change.
The bill cancels $213 million in unspent visa fee money by September 2027. That account pays for training U.S. workers.
Civil Liberties
A new part of the health law lets people sue over conscience-rule breaks. Courts must award damages and legal fees, even against a state.
A training program loses funds if it requires abortion training without an opt-in. It also loses funds for punishing a trainee who says no.
No funds in the bill could stop voluntary prayer or meditation in public schools.
A public college loses all bill money if it denies a religious group any right others get. That includes recognition and use of rooms.
No agency could pull a grant, license, tax break or benefit over that belief. The bar covers money in this and any other law.
A school loses funds unless staff must tell parents when a child expresses a different gender. Schools also cannot hide grades, activities or health news from parents.
A college must write a ban on antisemitic conduct into all its conduct rules. It must also discipline those who commit such acts.
A district may not run drills involving students under 16 without an opt-out. A parent or guardian must agree to it.
The bar covers any social, mental or medical step to change the body away from birth sex. It reaches every account in the bill.
A clinic network loses funds if it does abortions and drew over $23 million in 2016. It can win the money back by promising to stop.
The long-running Hyde limits carry forward. They cover direct payment and any health coverage that includes abortion.
A school that lets any male join a girls' or women's program gets no money. The bill defines sex by biology at birth.
The bar covers DEI programs, training, offices and officers. It also covers anything advancing Critical Race Theory.
No program may teach a listed set of race or sex ideas. The list includes calling the country systemically racist.
A college gets nothing if it backs a student group tied to a listed terror group. The cutoff hits the whole school.
No money from this bill could run or enforce a COVID-19 mask or shot rule.
A child could not go to a sponsor who was never lawfully admitted. Some relatives would be ruled out.
Criminal Justice & Due Process
Federal money cannot buy clean needles for injecting illegal drugs. A local health agency can lift that if it finds an outbreak risk.
No funds could run a site where people use Schedule I drugs indoors. Other services are not covered by the bar.
A child could not go to a sponsor if the child has a conviction. A pending gang-related charge, here or abroad, also blocks it.
Gun Laws
The health secretary could not declare a health emergency that limits gun rights. Related orders are barred too.
Three health agencies could not fund research treating gun crime as a health epidemic. Research on treating gunshot wounds is still allowed.
No money in the health title may advocate or promote gun control. A second rule extends that bar to grantees across the bill.
Corporate Benefits
No money may enforce the 2022 rewrite of the 90/10 rule. That rule counts how much of a school's income is federal aid.
Schools that pay the endowment tax could bill no more than 30 percent for overhead. Other schools keep their agreed rates.
Agencies could not buy office computers or printers from firms with Chinese state ownership. Buying through a middleman is barred too.
Transparency & Accountability
The health department must post a monthly count of separated children. Each report gives ages, the border sector and the stated cause.
No money may stop a member of Congress from touring a shelter for migrant children. The visit must be set up two business days ahead.
The three departments must tell Congress before announcing or ending a grant. The notice must give a short reason for ending it.
No money may ask a science adviser candidate about their party or voting record. Unrelated political views are off limits too.
No money in the bill may put out information that is knowingly false or misleading.
A federally funded family planning clinic must still follow state child abuse reporting laws. No exemption applies.
The research director may pick any review method for special deals. That replaces the peer review the law usually requires.
Land at the Treasure Island and Gary centers could be sold outside federal property law. Procurement rules would not apply either.
The bill says not to count the budget cost of two loan changes. That keeps them out of spending caps and pay-go rules.
Targeted & Unrelated Provisions
One health line carries $420.3 million for named local projects in the committee report. Those projects skip two of the bill's funding controls.
Two sections change the student loan law itself, not just this year's funding. Nothing in the title hints at a permanent change.
One section rewrites federal wage law for disaster claims adjusters. It takes effect the day the bill becomes law.
The bill names the Wuhan Institute of Virology and EcoHealth Alliance as barred. Adversary-run labs and gain-of-function work are barred too.
A college gets none of this money if it runs a joint science institute with a Chinese state school. The cutoff covers the whole college.
Agencies could fly only seven listed flags. They are the U.S., state, tribal, agency, POW/MIA, health service and Surgeon General flags.
More about this bill
New subsidized student loans for undergraduates would end on July 1, 2027. Today the government pays the interest on those loans while you are in school. New borrowers would pay that interest themselves. They could still borrow the same amount. Students who already borrowed by June 30, 2027 could keep the old terms. A 2022 rule that helps borrowers cancel loans after a school lied would also be blocked. The base Pell Grant would stay at $6,385 for the 2027-2028 school year. The bill covers the budget year that ends September 30, 2027. Medicaid grants to states would get $468.7 billion. Head Start would get $12.4 billion, and child care help $8.8 billion. Home energy help would get $4.1 billion. Title I aid for high-poverty schools would get $16.8 billion. Special education would get $15.5 billion. Supplemental Security Income would get $51.6 billion. Medical research at the National Institutes of Health would get about $48.8 billion. Small rural hospitals would share a new $100 million fund. Several rules would change how work is protected. A pending federal heat safety rule for outdoor and indoor jobs could not be finished or enforced. The required minimum wage for farm workers on H-2A visas would freeze at its October 2025 level. Employers hiring H-2B workers could use private wage surveys instead of federal data. Rules that promise those workers three-fourths of their hours would go unenforced. Insurance claim adjusters would lose overtime pay for two years after a declared disaster. The labor board could not allow union votes to be cast electronically. Dozens of other conditions ride along with the money. No funds could pay for care that changes a person's body away from their birth sex. Family planning groups that provide abortions and drew large federal grants would be cut off. Schools would have to notify parents about a child's gender identity. Women's school sports would be limited by sex at birth. Money for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs would end. Voluntary school prayer and religious student groups would be protected. Colleges would have to bar antisemitic conduct or lose this money. The bill also takes back funds set aside earlier. That includes $2 billion from a health reserve and $1.9 billion in health exchange fees. Another $12.33 billion in a children's health backup fund would sit unused for the year.
