Bill > HR5450

This bill is a comprehensive continuing appropriations and extensions measure for fiscal year 2026, designed to maintain government funding and extend various program authorities through October 31, 2025. The bill is divided into two main divisions: Division A focuses on continuing appropriations at fiscal year 2025 levels for most government agencies and programs, while Division B includes several key extensions and modifications across multiple sectors. Key provisions include extensions for health programs like community health centers, Medicare telehealth flexibilities, and veterans' services, as well as provisions for cybersecurity, transportation, and international development programs. The bill also includes specific funding allocations for areas like judicial security, Indian Health Services, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Notably, the bill makes permanent changes to the Affordable Care Act's premium tax credits and includes budgetary provisions that prevent the scoring of the bill's financial impacts on official government budget scorecards. The legislation is essentially a stopgap measure to prevent government shutdown and maintain existing program funding while Congress works on more comprehensive appropriations legislation.
