To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 40008

The section rescinds any unobligated balances of amounts appropriated or otherwise made available by sections 40001, 40002, 40003 and 40004 of Public Law 117-169 (136 Stat. 2028). That law is not indexed here, so how much sat in those accounts and what they funded cannot be checked against anything on this site.

What the document actually says

“Any unobligated balances of amounts appropriated or otherwise made available by sections 40001, 40002, 40003, and 40004”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 40008
That sentence, in plain words

Money set aside by four sections of an older law is taken back. Only the part not yet promised out is taken.

What this is about

An unobligated balance is money not yet committed. Money already promised is not touched. The older law is one from 2022.

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.
