Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

Division C funds the Capitol Police salaries account and caps overtime within it unless the Appropriations Committees are notified. A separate general expenses appropriation of $198,928,000 covers equipment and training, and bars using that money to buy a drone made in the People's Republic of China or by an affiliated business except for national security purposes.

What the document actually says

“For salaries of employees of the Capitol Police, including overtime, hazardous duty pay, and Government contributions for health, retirement, social security, professional liability insurance, tuition reimbursement, recruitment and retention bonuses, and other applicable employee benefits, $653,422,000, of which overtime shall not exceed $80,067,000 unless the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate are notified”

That sentence, in plain words

This pays the Capitol Police. Extra hours have a cap. The money teams must be told to go past it.

What this is about

The Capitol Police guard the Capitol and the members. Their pay and benefits come from here. A second, smaller sum buys their gear.

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.
