Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill combines two appropriations packages for fiscal year 2026. Division A funds Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service, the Executive Office of the President, the federal judiciary, independent agencies, the General Services Administration, the District of Columbia, and related accounts. It limits IRS transfers to 5 percent with appropriations-committee approval, requires IRS employee training on taxpayer rights and impartial tax-law application, requires taxpayer-confidentiality and identity-theft safeguards, funds improved IRS facilities and 1-800 taxpayer help-line staffing, protects employers from payroll-tax-preparer fraud through address-change notices and offer-in-compromise consideration, and blocks IRS targeting based on First Amendment activity or ideology. It also restricts IRS conferences, bonuses, rehiring, data disclosure, and certain Treasury rulemaking, including rules related to donor-advised funds and supporting organizations.
Division A also funds and restricts non-IRS agencies. It covers White House and executive-branch operations, requires OMB budget-impact statements for executive orders and presidential memoranda, supports ONDCP initiatives, provides judiciary transfer authority and courthouse security support through the U.S. Marshals Service, blocks Consumer Product Safety Commission rules on recreational off-highway vehicles and gas-stove bans, preserves FCC universal-service support rules for Alaska, restricts GSA Federal Buildings Fund transfers and courthouse-construction requests, and imposes District of Columbia restrictions on lobbying, official vehicles, needle distribution in certain locations, marijuana legalization, abortion funding, quarterly reports, and fiscal-year carryover.
Division B funds the Department of State, foreign operations, and related programs while adding foreign-assistance controls. It makes new State Department Working Capital Fund service-center spending subject to regular notification procedures, authorizes U.S. subscription to up to 25,128 Inter-American Investment Corporation shares, authorizes $3.198552 billion for the International Development Association's twenty-first replenishment, directs U.S. representatives at multilateral development banks to push for nuclear-energy financing and nuclear-energy assistance trust funds, authorizes $174.44 million for the Asian Development Fund's thirteenth replenishment, authorizes $7.8 billion in callable World Bank capital, creates an America First Opportunity Fund of up to $850 million, permanently rescinds prior-year foreign-operations balances, and bars UNRWA funding through March 25, 2027.
Who Benefits and How
Taxpayers benefit from IRS service staffing, confidentiality safeguards, identity-theft controls, and limits on ideological targeting. Employers affected by payroll-tax-preparer fraud benefit from address-change notice and offer-in-compromise protections. The federal judiciary and courthouse users benefit from U.S. Marshals Service courthouse security support. Alaska telecom carriers and rural Alaska customers benefit from the FCC universal-service rider. Recreational off-highway vehicle manufacturers and gas-stove manufacturers benefit from CPSC funding bans that block targeted safety or product-ban rules. Treasury and State Department international-finance officials, the Inter-American Investment Corporation, the International Development Association, the Asian Development Fund, the World Bank, nuclear-energy developers, U.S. strategic partners, and the America First Opportunity Fund benefit from new authorities, replenishments, callable capital, and foreign-policy funding flexibility.
Who Bears the Burden and How
IRS managers, Treasury officials, agency conference planners, bonus-program managers, and rulemaking teams bear operational limits and reporting burdens. Consumer Product Safety Commission staff and FCC staff are blocked from spending funds on specific regulatory changes. District of Columbia officials face federal restrictions on lobbying, official vehicles, needle distribution, marijuana policy, abortion funding, fund transfers, and quarterly reporting. State Department service-center managers, foreign-assistance bureaus, and international-finance officials face notification, consultation, and implementation duties. UNRWA and Palestinian refugees relying on UNRWA services bear the direct funding loss from the UNRWA bar, while foreign-operations accounts including consular programs, exchange programs, the Democracy Fund, Millennium Challenge Corporation, narcotics-control programs, and peacekeeping operations lose prior-year unobligated balances through rescissions.
