The table's entry for division A. It names the division the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026, and lists its five titles: the Department of Commerce, the Department of Justice, Science, Related Agencies, and General Provisions. The text of that division is inside section 5.

What the document actually says

“DIVISION A--COMMERCE, JUSTICE, SCIENCE, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2026 Title I--Department of Commerce Title II--Department of Justice Title III--Science Title IV--Related Agencies Title V--General Provisions”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

The first big part of the law is division A. It has five titles. They cover trade, law enforcement, science, some smaller agencies, and rules.

What this is about

A division is a whole spending law tucked inside this one. This one pays for two big departments. It also pays for NASA and for science grants.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
