Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026
Click any stage to learn more about the legislative process.
This bill would fund two of the twelve annual appropriations bills for fiscal year 2026: the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act and the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, covering the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, the federal judiciary, the District of Columbia, dozens of independent agencies, the State Department, and foreign assistance programs.
As a routine appropriations vehicle, it sets specific dollar amounts and policy riders for these agencies rather than creating new national policy, but its scale is large: it funds tax collection, financial regulation, courts, embassies, foreign aid, and international development banks for the year, along with hundreds of restrictions on how the money can be used.
What this bill would do
What it would do
The bill would provide fiscal year 2026 appropriations for the Department of the Treasury (including the IRS, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and CDFI Fund), the Executive Office of the President, the federal judiciary, the District of Columbia, and independent agencies such as the SEC, FTC, FCC, Small Business Administration, and General Services Administration. It would separately fund the State Department, USAID-related foreign assistance accounts, international security and economic assistance, multilateral development bank contributions, and export-promotion agencies like the Export-Import Bank. The bill sets specific funding levels for each account and attaches hundreds of general provisions restricting or directing how funds may be used, including notification and reprogramming rules, travel and conference limits, abortion-funding restrictions, and country-specific conditions on foreign aid. It would not create major new federal programs or permanently alter most existing law; most provisions are one-year funding decisions and policy riders that expire at the end of fiscal year 2026. It does include several permanent or multi-year statutory changes, such as amendments to the D.C. College Access Act, new authorizations for international financial institution replenishments, and rescissions of unobligated prior-year funds.
Key provisions
- 1Would appropriate funding for the Department of the Treasury, including the IRS ($3.04 billion for taxpayer services, $4.999 billion for enforcement), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and CDFI Fund.
- 2Would fund the Executive Office of the President, including the White House, OMB, National Security Council, and Office of National Drug Control Policy, with new OMB reporting requirements on executive order budgetary impacts.
- 3Would appropriate over $9 billion for the federal judiciary, including court security, defender services, and judicial salaries.
- 4Would provide federal payments to the District of Columbia for courts, tuition support, school improvement, emergency planning, and other programs, and would amend the D.C. College Access Act's award limits.
- 5Would fund independent agencies including the SEC ($2.149 billion), FTC, FCC, Small Business Administration, and General Services Administration, with numerous policy riders restricting specific regulatory actions.
- 6Would appropriate over $9.3 billion for State Department diplomatic operations and separately fund global health, humanitarian assistance, and security assistance programs including $6.16 billion in foreign military financing.
- 7Would impose country-specific conditions and restrictions on assistance to numerous nations (including Egypt, Israel, Pakistan, Colombia, Mexico, and others) and prohibit assistance to Cuba, North Korea, Iran, and the Taliban.
Who would be affected
Federal employees and agencies across Treasury, the White House, the judiciary, D.C. government, and dozens of independent agencies; taxpayers interacting with the IRS; recipients of D.C. federal payments including courts and schools; foreign governments, international organizations, and NGOs receiving U.S. foreign assistance; and contractors, grantees, and financial institutions doing business with these agencies.
Why it matters
Because it is an annual appropriations bill, its practical effect is immediate: agencies can only spend at the levels and under the conditions this bill sets, affecting IRS taxpayer services and enforcement, court operations, D.C. public services, and the scope and direction of U.S. diplomatic and foreign aid activity worldwide for the fiscal year, including aid to Israel, Egypt, Ukraine-adjacent countries, and international financial institutions.

Congressional Budget Office estimate
CBO estimates that H.R. 7006 would provide $76.6 billion in total discretionary budget authority for fiscal year 2026 across two appropriations divisions, with outlays of approximately $90.1 billion.
CBO estimates that H.R. 7006 would provide $76,562 million (about $76.6 billion) in total discretionary budget authority for fiscal year 2026 — $26,548 million under Division A (Financial Services and General Government) and $50,014 million under Division B (National Security and Department of State). Total outlays (the actual cash spent) are estimated at roughly $90.1 billion, reflecting both new and prior-year appropriations. A notable revenue effect stems from a provision allowing the IRS to transfer funds between accounts: CBO estimates this would increase revenues by $247 million in 2026 but decrease revenues by a net $844 million over the 2026–2035 period. CBO did not identify any intergovernmental or private-sector mandates in the bill.
How implementation would work
As an appropriations act, the bill takes effect largely through agency operating plans: each funded department or agency must submit spending plans to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees within 45 days of enactment detailing program-level uses of funds, and many provisions require advance notification (often 15 days) before agencies can reprogram funds, open or close offices, or change program scope. Numerous sections require periodic reports to Congress (quarterly, semi-annual, or annual) on spending, personnel, and compliance. Foreign assistance provisions layer country-specific certifications, waivers by the Secretary of State or President, and consultation requirements before funds can be obligated for particular countries or purposes, creating an extensive congressional oversight and notification framework running throughout the fiscal year.
