To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of S. Con. Res. 33, Sec. 104

The section appropriates $2,500,000,000 to the Secretary of Homeland Security for fiscal year 2026, in addition to amounts otherwise available. The money remains available until September 30, 2029. It is for the purposes provided in title I, which are those set out in sections 101, 102 and 103.

What the document actually says

“there are appropriated to the Secretary of Homeland Security for fiscal year 2026, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $2,500,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2029, for the purposes provided in this title.”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of S. Con. Res. 33, Sec. 104
That sentence, in plain words

Congress sets aside $2,500,000,000 for the head of the Homeland Security Department. It may be spent up to September 30, 2029. It is for the uses named in this half of the law.

What this is about

The three parts before this one each name a use for money. This part adds a sum on top and does not tie it to just one of them. It goes to the head of the whole department, not to one force.

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.
