Overview

This bill funds the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for fiscal year 2026, covering the Office of the Secretary, Management Directorate, Federal Protective Service, intelligence and situational awareness functions, Inspector General, CBP, TSA, Coast Guard, Secret Service, CISA, and FEMA. It appropriates funds for operations and support, procurement and construction, research and development, and various grant programs (such as State Homeland Security Grants, fire grants, and emergency management assistance), while specifying multi-year availability for certain accounts. The bill also includes numerous oversight and reporting requirements—covering acquisitions, pilot programs, Inspector General reviews, budget and staffing reports—as well as policy riders restricting or directing use of funds on matters such as border fees, unmanned aircraft, prescription drug importation, screening exemptions, and detention facility oversight. Caps are placed on certain expenses like official reception costs and informant compensation, and specific set-asides or grants (e.g., body-worn cameras, National Computer Forensics Institute) are established.
