That sentence, in plain words

The sums named in this law come out of the Treasury. They come from money not already promised. They are for the year that ends September 30, 2026.

What this is about

Congress must say the words that free up money. This is that sentence. The lines later in the law name the amounts.

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.
