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

Section 229(a). A further $31,000,000 is appropriated to the border agency's operations account, available until spent, and reduced dollar for dollar by fees collected during fiscal year 2026 under the immigration user fee, agricultural quarantine inspection and customs authorities the section names. Subsection (b) credits collections above $31,000,000 to the same account, available until spent.

What the document actually says

That sentence, in plain words

The border agency gets $31,000,000 more. That sum drops as fee money comes in.

What this is about

The fees come from travelers and from farm goods checks. If more comes in than $31,000,000, the extra stays in the account.

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.
