This bill is the Rescissions Act of 2025, which aims to permanently rescind (cancel) various unobligated budget balances across multiple federal programs and departments. Specifically, the bill implements budget rescissions proposed by the President on June 3, 2025, in accordance with the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The rescissions target a wide range of international and domestic funding areas, including international organizations, global health programs, migration and refugee assistance, economic support funds, development assistance, and various independent agencies. The total amount of rescinded funds spans multiple appropriations acts, including the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act of 2024 and the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act of 2025. Notably, the bill also rescinds funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. These rescissions effectively reduce previously allocated federal budget authority, meaning the specified funds will no longer be available for spending in their original intended purposes.
