H.R. 7147: Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes.

The bill focuses on funding and oversight for various activities under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the fiscal year 2026. It includes several key provisions regarding budget allocations, operational plans, and reporting requirements.

Funding Allocations

The bill allocates money for various expenses and improvements within DHS. Specifically, it designates:

  • $51,500,000 for expenses and improvements, which will be available until September 30, 2030.
  • $426,904,000 dedicated to the Science and Technology Directorate for research and development purposes, accessible until September 30, 2028.

Operational Plans and Oversight

The bill requires the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to create and submit an initial funding execution plan. This plan must detail operational costs and the projected use of detention facilities, and it is to be submitted within 90 days of the bill's enactment. After the initial plan, ICE is also expected to provide quarterly updates to Congress regarding its operations.

Management Operations and Disaster Response

Additionally, the bill establishes a system of accountability and resource management tied to disaster response activities. If the DHS has more than 500 disaster assistance requests under final review for over 60 days, there will be a financial penalty. Specifically, funding for certain management operations will be reduced by $100,000 for each additional day that requests exceed the 60-day limit. However, exceptions are noted for activities that are critical for saving lives.

Restrictions on Fund Usage

The legislation includes specific restrictions regarding how the appropriated funds can be spent. It emphasizes the importance of oversight and sets reporting requirements to ensure compliance with these restrictions.
