Bill Analysis
HR 7148 is the House vehicle for the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026,” intended to provide full-year discretionary funding for federal agencies and programs for FY2026 (October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026). As introduced, it is a shell or placeholder bill: it carries the title and is formally referred to the House Committees on Appropriations, Budget, and Ways and Means, but does not yet contain the detailed appropriations text that will ultimately govern specific agencies, accounts, or policy riders.
Functionally, the bill is designed to bundle multiple regular appropriations bills—typically the 12 annual spending measures—into a single omnibus or “consolidated” act. Once populated, it will (1) set discretionary spending levels for major federal departments (Defense, HHS, Education, DHS, etc.); (2) renew, modify, or terminate program funding lines; and (3) may include limited authorizing provisions or policy conditions (e.g., restrictions on use of funds, reporting requirements, or temporary changes to entitlement or tax rules with budget impact).
Funding and authorities will derive from standard appropriations powers under Article I, with caps and allocations expected to be shaped by concurrent budget resolutions and any applicable statutory budget controls. The referral to the Budget Committee signals potential interactions with overall spending aggregates and enforcement mechanisms; referral to Ways and Means indicates that some provisions may affect revenues, tax credits, or mandatory spending programs within that committee’s jurisdiction.
Affected entities will ultimately include nearly all federal departments and independent agencies receiving discretionary appropriations, along with state, local, tribal, nonprofit, and private-sector recipients of federal grants and contracts. Beneficiaries and regulated parties will depend on the final mix of funded programs and any attached policy riders.
Key timelines: HR 7148 is intended to be negotiated, amended, and passed before the start of FY2026 (October 1, 2025) to avoid a lapse in appropriations. If not enacted on time, Congress typically uses continuing resolutions; those could be incorporated into or superseded by the final consolidated act once agreement is reached.
