What this bill does

In plain words · AI-written from the official summary

Funds Treasury, courts, and federal agencies

This is a spending bill that determines how much money several federal departments and agencies get to operate in 2026. It provides funding for the Treasury Department, the President's office, the court system, and more than 20 independent agencies like the IRS, FBI, Social Security Administration, and others. The bill also includes rules about how these agencies can use the money.

How it affects you

This bill affects almost everyone indirectly, since it funds the basic operations of many agencies you interact with or depend on—from the IRS that processes your taxes to the Postal Service that delivers mail, to the SEC that oversees investments, to the Social Security Administration. Without appropriations bills like this one, these agencies wouldn't have money to do their work.
