What the document says

“Notwithstanding subsections (a), (b), and (c), no funds shall be reprogrammed within or transferred between appropriations-- (1) based upon an initial notification provided after June 15, except in extraordinary circumstances that imminently threaten the safety of human life or the protection of property; (2) to increase or decrease funding for grant programs”

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

Section 503(d). Three outer limits that hold even where the notice requirements are met: no reprogramming on a first notification given after June 15, unless extraordinary circumstances imminently threaten life or property; none to raise or lower funding for grant programs; and none to create a program, project or activity, including a new function within one, that Congress did not approve when it passed this Act.

What the document actually says

“Notwithstanding subsections (a), (b), and (c), no funds shall be reprogrammed within or transferred between appropriations-- (1) based upon an initial notification provided after June 15, except in extraordinary circumstances that imminently threaten the safety of human life or the protection of property; (2) to increase or decrease funding for grant programs”

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

No money may be shifted on a notice sent after June 15. None may be shifted to change grant funding.

What this is about

These limits hold even with notice. The date rule keeps late year shifts from slipping through. Grant money is fenced off.

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 quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
