S. 3195: Anti-Cash Grab Act

This bill, known as the Anti-Cash Grab Act, aims to repeal a specific section of a previous law concerning appropriations, specifically Section 213 of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026. By repealing this section, Congress intends to restore provisions from the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 2005, specifically Section 10 of that law.

Key Points of the Bill

Repeal of Section 213: The bill would eliminate Section 213 from the 2026 Appropriations Act, which may outline certain fiscal guidelines or restrictions that are viewed as detrimental or unnecessary.
Restoration of Previous Law: In place of the repealed section, the bill seeks to reinstate and maintain the prior legal framework that existed under the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 2005.
Immediate Effect: The changes would take effect as if they were part of the original enactment of the 2026 Appropriations Act, meaning the restoration will happen immediately upon the bill's passage.

Implications

The implications of this bill focus primarily on fiscal policy related to federal appropriations and how funds are allocated or regulated within government branches. The change aims to streamline or correct budgetary appropriations perceived as problematic under the previous section.
