Summary
What This Bill Does
This is a hybrid appropriations bill that (1) continues current-year funding for most federal agencies through January 30, 2026, and (2) provides full-year funding for three areas: Agriculture/FDA, the Legislative Branch (Congress), and Military Construction/Veterans Affairs.
Who Benefits and How
Veterans benefit from continued healthcare funding and program extensions including suicide prevention grants, mental health services, and the Veterans Crisis Line. Federal employees are protected from furloughs and any reductions in force taken between October 1-enactment are rescinded with backpay. Rural communities benefit from continued USDA loans and grants for housing, utilities, and business development. American workers benefit from Buy American requirements for rural water projects.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Foreign suppliers face trade restrictions - Chinese poultry/seafood banned from school meals, iron/steel must be American-made for USDA water projects. The FDA faces strict enforcement mandates for e-cigarettes/vapes with $200M minimum for ENDS enforcement. VA faces extensive reporting requirements to Congress. Genetically engineered salmon must be labeled as such.
Key Provisions
- Continues FY2025 funding rates for most agencies through January 30, 2026
- Prohibits federal reductions in force during CR period; rescinds any RIFs since Oct 1 with backpay
- Mandates $200M minimum FDA enforcement on e-cigarettes/vapes
- Extends VA suicide prevention programs and homeless veteran services
- Requires CFIUS notification for agricultural land purchases by China, Russia, Iran, North Korea
- Bans Chinese poultry/seafood from school nutrition programs
