This part does two things. First it says that the words this Act inside a division mean only that division. Then it holds all of division A, which is the year's spending bill.
The document says “shall”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF
What the document says
“Except as expressly provided otherwise, any reference to ``this Act'' contained in any division of this Act shall be treated as referring only to the provisions of that division.”
Section 3 is the last of the three sections that stand ahead of the divisions. It fixes what the words 'this Act' mean when they appear inside a division: they reach that division alone, unless a provision says otherwise.
What the document actually says
“Except as expressly provided otherwise, any reference to ``this Act'' contained in any division of this Act shall be treated as referring only to the provisions of that division.”
That sentence, in plain words
The words this Act mean just one part. They do not mean the whole law.
What this is about
The law has three big parts, called divisions. Each part uses the words this Act. This rule keeps each part from reaching into the others.
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.

What the document says
“The following sums are hereby appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and out of applicable corporate or other revenues, receipts, and funds, for the several departments, agencies, corporations, and other organizational units of Government for fiscal year 2025, and for other purposes, namely:”
The opening clause of division A is the enacting clause of an appropriations Act. Everything that follows in division A sits under it.
What the document actually says
“The following sums are hereby appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and out of applicable corporate or other revenues, receipts, and funds, for the several departments, agencies, corporations, and other organizational units of Government for fiscal year 2025, and for other purposes, namely:”
That sentence, in plain words
Money is set aside from the Treasury. It is for the year that ends September 30, 2025.
What this is about
The Treasury holds the money the government takes in. Congress must say how it may be spent. This line starts that list.

What the document says
“Such amounts as may be necessary, at the level specified in subsection (c) and under the authority and conditions provided in applicable appropriations Acts for fiscal year 2024, for projects or activities (including the costs of direct loans and loan guarantees) that are not otherwise specifically provided for”
Section 1101(a) is the engine of the continuing resolution. It carries forward twelve fiscal year 2024 appropriations Acts, listed as paragraphs (1) through (12) and drawn from Public Laws 118-42 and 118-47, and funds what they funded at the level defined in subsection (c). The later titles of division A then set different levels for named accounts.
What the document actually says
“Such amounts as may be necessary, at the level specified in subsection (c) and under the authority and conditions provided in applicable appropriations Acts for fiscal year 2024, for projects or activities (including the costs of direct loans and loan guarantees) that are not otherwise specifically provided for”
That sentence, in plain words
Money keeps flowing at the level set the year before. The rules that came with it keep going too.
What this is about
Congress passes twelve money bills each year. It did not pass new ones for 2025. So the old ones are carried over.
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.
The document says “means”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF
What the document says
“For purposes of this division, the term ``level'' means an amount.”
Section 1101(b) defines the term used throughout division A. It matters because the later titles set a 'level' for named accounts rather than appropriating a sum in the usual form.
What the document actually says
“For purposes of this division, the term ``level'' means an amount.”
That sentence, in plain words
In this part, the word level means an amount of money.
What this is about
A word can mean many things. The law picks one meaning. Here it is just a sum of money.

What the document says
“The level referred to in subsection (a) shall be the amounts appropriated in the appropriations Acts referred to in such subsection, including transfers and obligation limitations.”
Section 1101(c) fixes the number that subsection (a) points to: the amounts the twelve fiscal year 2024 Acts appropriated, counting transfers and obligation limitations.
What the document actually says
“The level referred to in subsection (a) shall be the amounts appropriated in the appropriations Acts referred to in such subsection, including transfers and obligation limitations.”
That sentence, in plain words
The level is what the older bills gave. That includes money moved between accounts.
What this is about
Some money is capped rather than given outright. The cap counts as part of the level. So does money shifted from one account to another.

What the document says
“except section 510 shall be applied by substituting ``$1,900,000,000'' for ``$1,353,000,000''”
Nine of the twelve paragraphs in section 1101(a) carry exceptions. Some drop a named section, proviso or paragraph of the fiscal year 2024 Act outright. Others keep the section but apply it with one dollar figure in place of another, as in this example from the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024.
What the document actually says
“except section 510 shall be applied by substituting ``$1,900,000,000'' for ``$1,353,000,000''”
That sentence, in plain words
One rule stays in force. But one number in it is swapped for a bigger one.
What this is about
Carrying a bill over does not have to be exact. Congress can drop parts of it. It can also change single numbers inside it.

What the document says
“Appropriations made by section 1101 shall be available to the extent and in the manner that would be provided by the pertinent appropriations Act.”
Section 1102 ties the manner of spending to the fiscal year 2024 Act the money comes from, rather than setting out fresh terms.
What the document actually says
“Appropriations made by section 1101 shall be available to the extent and in the manner that would be provided by the pertinent appropriations Act.”
That sentence, in plain words
The money is used the same way the old bill said. Nothing about the manner changes.
What this is about
Each account has rules on how its money may be used. Those rules came with the old bill. They come along with the money.

What the document says
“or no-year period of availability shall retain a comparable period of availability.”
Section 1103 preserves the spending window. Where a fiscal year 2024 account could be spent over several years, or with no end date, the money provided by this division keeps a comparable window.
What the document actually says
“or no-year period of availability shall retain a comparable period of availability.”
That sentence, in plain words
Some money may be spent over several years. That stays true here.
What this is about
Most money must be spent within one year. Some accounts are not like that. They keep their longer window.

“No appropriation or funds made available or authority granted pursuant to section 1101 shall be used to initiate or resume any project or activity for which appropriations, funds, or other authority were specifically prohibited during fiscal year 2024.”
Section 1104 is the standard bar on new starts. Where the fiscal year 2024 Acts specifically prohibited a project or activity, the money carried forward by section 1101 may not be used to begin or restart it.
What the document actually says
“No appropriation or funds made available or authority granted pursuant to section 1101 shall be used to initiate or resume any project or activity for which appropriations, funds, or other authority were specifically prohibited during fiscal year 2024.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money may not start work that was banned the year before. It may not restart it either.
What this is about
A ban in the old bill does not lapse. Carrying the money over carries the ban too. Section 1409 sets a wider bar for defense.

“Except as otherwise expressly provided in this division, the requirements, authorities, conditions, limitations, and other provisions of the appropriations Acts referred to in section 1101 shall continue in effect through the date specified in section 1106.”
That sentence, in plain words
The rules that came with the old bills keep going. They run to the date in section 1106.
What this is about
A money bill carries far more than dollar figures. It carries bans, caps, and reporting duties. All of those come along.

What the document says
“appropriations and funds made available and authority granted pursuant to this division shall be available through September 30, 2025.”
Section 1106 is the end date the rest of division A refers back to. It runs to the last day of fiscal year 2025, which is what makes this a full-year continuing resolution rather than another short stopgap.
What the document actually says
“appropriations and funds made available and authority granted pursuant to this division shall be available through September 30, 2025.”
That sentence, in plain words
The money lasts through September 30, 2025. That is the end of the budget year.
What this is about
Earlier stopgap bills ran only a few weeks. This one runs to the end of the year. Several other sections point back to this date.

“Expenditures made pursuant to the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025 (Public Law 118-83) shall be charged to the applicable appropriation, fund, or authorization provided by this division.”
Section 1107 folds what was already spent under the earlier stopgap, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025 (Public Law 118-83), into the accounts this division provides.
What the document actually says
“Expenditures made pursuant to the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025 (Public Law 118-83) shall be charged to the applicable appropriation, fund, or authorization provided by this division.”

Money already spent under the last short bill counts against this one.
What this is about
The year began under a short stopgap bill. That money was already spent. It is now charged to these accounts instead.

“Funds appropriated by this division may be obligated and expended notwithstanding section 10 of Public Law 91-672 (22 U.S.C. 2412)”
Section 1108 sets aside four provisions for funds under this division: section 10 of Public Law 91-672 (22 U.S.C. 2412), section 15 of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2680), section 313 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995 (22 U.S.C. 6212), and section 504(a)(1) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3094(a)(1)).
What the document actually says
“Funds appropriated by this division may be obligated and expended notwithstanding section 10 of Public Law 91-672 (22 U.S.C. 2412)”
That sentence, in plain words
The money may be spent. Four other rules do not stop it.
What this is about
Those four rules each tie spending to a fresh act of Congress. There was no fresh act this year. So they are set aside.

What the document says
“the levels established by section 1101 shall be the amounts necessary to maintain program levels under current law and under the authority and conditions provided in the applicable appropriations Acts for fiscal year 2024.”
Section 1109(a) treats entitlements and other mandatory payments differently from the rest. Rather than freezing them at last year's dollar figure, it funds whatever current law requires. It names activities under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 alongside them.
What the document actually says
“the levels established by section 1101 shall be the amounts necessary to maintain program levels under current law and under the authority and conditions provided in the applicable appropriations Acts for fiscal year 2024.”
That sentence, in plain words
Some payments are owed by law. Those get whatever they need. They are not held to last year's amount.
What this is about
A benefit people are owed cannot be capped by a stopgap bill. The number of people can change. So the amount changes with it.

Section 1109(b) adds five advance amounts for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026: $6,000,000 for Special Benefits for Disabled Coal Miners, $261,063,820,000 for Grants to States for Medicaid, $1,600,000,000 for Payments to States for Child Support Enforcement and Family Support Programs, $3,600,000,000 for Payments for Foster Care and Permanency, and $22,100,000,000 for the Supplemental Security Income Program.
What the document actually says
“the following amounts shall be available for the following accounts for advance payments for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026:”
That sentence, in plain words
Five accounts get money early. It covers the first three months of the next budget year.
What this is about
The next budget year starts October 1, 2025. Checks go out before Congress acts. So the money is set aside now.

What the document says
“is designated by the Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of such Act or as being for disaster relief pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(D) of such Act, respectively.”
Section 1110 carries forward the budget designations attached to money brought in by reference. Amounts previously designated an emergency requirement or disaster relief under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 are designated the same way again. Subsection (c) does the same for amounts designated under three earlier Public Laws.
What the document actually says
“is designated by the Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of such Act or as being for disaster relief pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(D) of such Act, respectively.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money once marked an emergency stays marked that way. So does money marked for disaster relief.
What this is about
That mark keeps the money outside the spending caps. Without it the caps would be broken. So the mark is put on again.

Section 1111 strips earmark language of force. It reaches earmarks written into a fiscal year 2024 appropriations Act and into any committee report or joint explanatory statement that came with one, and it defines 'earmark' by the rules of each chamber: clause 9(e) of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives and paragraph 5(a) of rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate.
What the document actually says
“joint explanatory statement accompanying such an Act, shall have no legal effect with respect to funds appropriated by this division.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money set aside for one named project no longer has to go there.
What this is about
An earmark points money at one place. Those pointers came from last year's bills. They do not bind this money.

“advance appropriations are provided in the same amount for fiscal year 2026 or 2027, respectively, with a comparable period of availability.”

Some accounts get money a year or two ahead. That happens again here.

Section 1113 requires a spending, expenditure or operating plan within 45 days of enactment, at the program, project or activity level, or at any greater level of detail an appropriations Act or its joint explanatory statement required. Subsection (b) says the plan must reflect a sequestration if the President orders one under section 254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

That sentence, in plain words
Each listed agency must hand in a spending plan. It goes to the money committees in both chambers.
What this is about
The plan says what each dollar is for. It is due 45 days after the law passed. Thirty-five agencies are on the list.

Section 1114 requires a report not later than May 15, 2025 and each month after that through November 1, 2025. It must set out obligations by account and compare them to the obligations incurred in the same period of fiscal year 2024.

“the Office of Management and Budget shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate a report on all obligations incurred in fiscal year 2025, by each department and agency, using funds made available by this division.”

The budget office must report every month. It says what each agency has committed to spend.
What this is about
An obligation is a promise to pay. The report lists them account by account. It also shows the same months a year earlier.

An amount designated an emergency requirement under section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, and so designated by the President, keeps that designation when it is transferred under a transfer authority in division A.
What the document actually says
“and transferred pursuant to transfer authorities provided by this division shall retain such designation.”

Money marked an emergency keeps the mark when it moves.

Section 1207 amends the last proviso under a heading in title I of division N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328). The added words apply where the Secretary determines that a de minimis amount of a producer's revenue loss is attributable to crops the producer did not insure or cover under the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program under section 196 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 7333). Amounts repurposed under the section keep their emergency designation.

The one rule section 3 states in its own right, and then, section by section, each distinct thing division A does: the mechanism that carries fiscal year 2024 spending forward, the general provisions of title I, and for each of the twelve remaining titles the account levels it sets and the provisions it adds, changes, turns off, or rescinds.
The individual dollar figures in division A are not recorded line by line. Division A sets levels for several hundred named accounts, and each proposal here quotes one figure and counts the rest. The same holds for the eighteen defense rescissions, the twenty-eight prior year shipbuilding lines, and the twenty-one shipbuilding programs: the section is recorded, the list is counted rather than copied out.
Division A is printed inside section 3 in the Government Publishing Office's text of the law, so its own sections, numbered 1101 through 11305, do not have separate section files on this site. They are addressed here by the heading field. Division A also works almost entirely by reference to other laws, chiefly Public Laws 118-42 and 118-47, the fiscal year 2024 appropriations Acts. None of those is indexed here, so this file does not say what any account paid for or what any carried-forward condition requires.
