What the document says

“the allocation of funds and implementation of divisions A through C of this Act as if it were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of conference.”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 4

The close of section 4. It states what the explanatory statement governs: the allocation of funds and the implementation of divisions A through C. Many account paragraphs in section 5 direct money to purposes and amounts named in tables printed in that statement, and this section is what gives those tables their effect.

What the document actually says

“the allocation of funds and implementation of divisions A through C of this Act as if it were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of conference.”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 4
That sentence, in plain words

The report says how to split the money in the three big parts. It also says how to carry them out. It counts like a joint report.

What this is about

Many money lines in this law point to a table. The tables are in the report, not in the law. This is what makes those tables matter.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

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.
