What the document says
“there is appropriated $30,000,000, for an additional amount for fiscal year 2026, to remain available until expended, for reimbursements for mutual aid and related training provided under the agreements described in section 7302 of Public Law 108-458”
Section 157 of division A funds the account the Capitol Police use to repay other forces that lend help under the agreements described in section 7302 of Public Law 108-458. The money carries the same conditions as if it had been provided by title I of division C, and obligations have to be notified to the Appropriations Committees and to the Senate Rules and House Administration Committees within fifteen days.
What the document actually says
“there is appropriated $30,000,000, for an additional amount for fiscal year 2026, to remain available until expended, for reimbursements for mutual aid and related training provided under the agreements described in section 7302 of Public Law 108-458”
That sentence, in plain words
The Capitol Police get thirty million dollars more. It pays back other police forces that came to help.
What this is about
Other forces send officers to the Capitol when they are needed. Their home departments still pay them. This money pays those departments back.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
