The House Appropriations Committee has unveiled the Fiscal Year 2026 bill for the Legislative Branch Subcommittee. The bill is set to be reviewed by the subcommittee on June 23 at 6:00 p.m., with a live stream available on the Committee’s website.
David Valadao, Chairman of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee, stated, “As the Chairman of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee, it’s been an exciting few weeks working to draft a bill that demonstrates our strong commitment to fiscal responsibility and transparency in how Congress manages its own operations. This legislation reins in unnecessary spending, focuses on core needs, and ensures that every dollar is justified and accountable to the American people. It also fully funds sworn staffing needs for Capitol Police to ensure the Capitol complex, Members of Congress, and all who work and visit here are safe. I thank Chairman Cole for his leadership throughout this process and look forward to working with my colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee to get this bill over the finish line.”
Chairman Tom Cole added, “The foundation of our work is service to the American people, and this FY26 bill reflects that commitment through targeted and responsible investments. It supports functions core to democracy and upholds the oversight and accountability duties of Congress. The safety of the Capitol complex for constituents and visitors and operations of national institutions are also prioritized. Chairman Valadao's bill puts the American people first - in strengthening the institutions that represent them, protecting effective governance, and safeguarding taxpayer dollars.”
The proposed appropriations amount to $6.7 billion in discretionary allocation. This figure represents a reduction of $51 million from last year's enacted level and is over $1.3 billion less than what was requested for FY26.
Key components of this legislation include maintaining existing funding levels for Member offices while enhancing security measures such as increasing funding for Capitol Police officers. The bill also seeks efficiency improvements by streamlining research agencies.
In terms of national security measures, purchases from certain foreign adversaries are prohibited under this legislation. It restricts procurement related to technology or drones associated with China's business entities unless deemed necessary for national security.
Fiscal prudence features prominently with requirements that unspent Member Representational Allowances contribute toward debt reduction efforts rather than incentivizing delayed or over-budget contractor projects.
Additionally, provisions include restrictions against maintaining private vehicles using these funds while redirecting Government Accountability Office activities toward congressional priorities rather than self-directed initiatives perceived as liberal-leaning.
Further elements uphold American values through network content restrictions regarding pornography access alongside eliminating mandates tied specifically towards low-emission vehicle usage among leased options covered via MRAs.
