On Agreeing to the Amendment
Bill Analysis
HR 7148, the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026,” is an omnibus spending bill intended to provide full-year appropriations for federal agencies and programs for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 and to implement associated budgetary and revenue-related provisions. As introduced, it is a framework vehicle: the bill’s title and committee referrals indicate scope and structure, but detailed account-level funding and policy riders would be supplied through subsequent amendments and committee work.
Substantively, a consolidated appropriations act typically bundles the 12 regular appropriations bills (e.g., Agriculture; Defense; Homeland Security; Labor-HHS-Education; Transportation-HUD) into a single measure. HR 7148 would therefore (once populated) set discretionary spending levels, conditions, and restrictions for most executive branch departments and numerous independent agencies for FY2026, and may include emergency, supplemental, or rescission provisions.
The referral to the Committee on Appropriations signals that the bill’s core function is to allocate budget authority across federal accounts and programs, including operations, grants, contracts, and personnel. Referral to the Committee on the Budget indicates that the bill is expected to interact with or implement the FY2026 budget resolution, enforce spending caps or allocations, and affect overall deficit and debt projections. Referral to Ways and Means suggests inclusion of provisions affecting federal revenues or mandatory spending (e.g., tax extenders, offsets, or changes to entitlement-related funding mechanisms) that are germane to an appropriations package.
Beneficiaries and regulated parties are broad and indirect: federal agencies receive operating funds; state, local, and tribal governments, nonprofits, contractors, and individual beneficiaries receive downstream grants, services, and payments; and regulated entities may be affected by policy riders that condition or restrict agency regulatory actions.
Key timelines: the measure is intended to be enacted before the start of FY2026 (October 1, 2025) to avoid a lapse in appropriations. As of its latest action, HR 7148 is at the introductory stage, pending detailed text, subcommittee and full committee markups, and subsequent House and Senate consideration.
