HR 7147 United States House · 119th Congress

Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026.

Summary

Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 This bill provides continuing FY2026 appropriations to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through May 22, 2026. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and ends the partial DHS shutdown that began on February 14, 2026, due to a lapse in appropriations for DHS. The CR generally funds most DHS agencies and programs at the FY2025 levels through the earlier of May 22, 2026, or the enactment of the FY2026 DHS appropriations act. The bill also authorizes back pay, in accordance with current law, for federal employees who were affected by the partial DHS shutdown. Finally, the bill ratifies and approves certain obligations that were incurred during the partial DHS shutdown, including obligations incurred to maintain the essential level of activity to protect life and property and bring about an orderly termination of government functions.

MODERATE

This diff reflects the transition of HR 7147 from House engrossed to enrolled form, adding standard legislative structure (short title, table of contents, references, and explanatory statement sections). The most significant substantive change is a new Section 4 that provides the explanatory statement has conference-committee force EXCEPT for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP Border Security Operations, where all Final Bill column amounts are set to $0, effectively nullifying program-level funding guidance for those two major components. Additionally, multi-year availability for Office of Health Security increased from $14.05 million to $22.05 million while the $8 million multi-year allocation for Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans was removed.

FISCAL

New Section 4 provides that the explanatory statement has the same effect as a joint conference committee explanatory statement, EXCEPT that all amounts in the Final Bill column for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP Border Security Operations are set to $0, nullifying program-level funding allocation guidance for those components.

Multi-year availability (until September 30, 2027) for Management and Oversight, Office of Health Security increased from $14,050,000 to $22,050,000 in the Office of the Secretary Operations and Support account.

The $8,000,000 multi-year availability (until September 30, 2027) for Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans was removed from the Office of the Secretary Operations and Support account.

TECHNICAL

Standard enrolled bill structure added: short title ('Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026'), table of contents, Section 3 (References), Section 4 (Explanatory Statement), and Section 5 (Statement of Appropriations).
