What the document says

“Section 201 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2018 (division F of Public Law 115-141), related to overtime compensation limitations, shall apply with respect to funds made available in this Act in the same manner as such section applied to funds made available in that Act, except that ``fiscal year 2026'' shall be substituted for ``fiscal year 2018''.”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

Section 201. Rather than restating them, this section carries forward a provision of the 2018 homeland security appropriations act, described in this Act's own words as related to overtime compensation limitations, and applies it to the money in this Act with the year changed. What that provision says is in Public Law 115-141, which is not indexed here.

What the document actually says

“Section 201 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2018 (division F of Public Law 115-141), related to overtime compensation limitations, shall apply with respect to funds made available in this Act in the same manner as such section applied to funds made available in that Act, except that ``fiscal year 2026'' shall be substituted for ``fiscal year 2018''.”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

A rule from a 2018 law is used again. It applies to money in this law. The year in it is changed to 2026.

What this is about

Rather than write the rule out again, the law points at an old one. That old law is not indexed here. So this site does not say what the rule holds.

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.

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.
