What the document says

“appropriations and funds made available and authority granted pursuant to this Act shall be available until whichever of the following first occurs: (1) The enactment into law of an appropriation for any project or activity provided for in this Act. (2) The enactment into law of the applicable appropriations Act for fiscal year 2026 without any provision for such project or activity. (3) January 30, 2026.”

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

Section 106 of division A sets the end of the short-term funding. For each project the money lasts until a full-year appropriation is enacted, or a full-year bill passes without it, or January 30, 2026 arrives, whichever comes first. Dozens of other provisions in the Act are written as the date specified in section 106(3), so they end on the same day.

What the document actually says

“appropriations and funds made available and authority granted pursuant to this Act shall be available until whichever of the following first occurs: (1) The enactment into law of an appropriation for any project or activity provided for in this Act. (2) The enactment into law of the applicable appropriations Act for fiscal year 2026 without any provision for such project or activity. (3) January 30, 2026.”

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

The money lasts until one of three things happens. A new bill pays for the work. A new bill leaves it out. Or the date January 30, 2026 arrives.

What this is about

This is a short-term fix, not a full year of money. Whatever comes first ends it. Many other parts of this law point back to this date.

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.
