H.R. 7147: Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.
The bill, HR 7147, proposes funding for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, specifically addressing allocations for various departments, with a significant focus on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It details the following key components:
Funding Allocations
The bill outlines the distribution of appropriations for operations, support, procurement, and oversight of DHS agencies. A notable allocation is:
- $426,904,000 for the Science and Technology Directorate's research and development, extending until September 30, 2028.
Operational Oversight
To enhance accountability, the bill requires:
- Monthly updates on resource exhaustion and how funds are being used.
- The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to present a detailed execution plan regarding detention facilities.
- Restrictions on how funds may be utilized for specific operations.
- Clear conditions for managing and reporting grants across various agency contexts.
Conditions for Fund Usage
The legislation includes strict conditions regarding fund allocations, such as:
- If the DHS has more than 500 requests that have been under final review for over 60 days, funding for certain operations will incur a penalty. Specifically, funding will be reduced by $100,000 for each day beyond the 60-day limit. However, there are exceptions for lifesaving activities where this funding reduction would not apply.
Vehicle Acquisitions and Biometrics
The bill permits U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to use funds for vehicle acquisitions and the implementation of biometric technologies, ensuring these expenditures align with the agency's operational needs.
Reprogramming Regulations
Additional provisions in the bill establish regulations regarding the reprogramming of funds, helping to ensure that allocated resources are appropriately managed and reported back to the legislature.
Relevant Companies
