The Senate Appropriations Committee has released the final versions of three major funding bills for fiscal year 2026. These bills cover Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies; Energy and Water Development; and Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies.
Senator Susan Collins, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, commented on the package: "This is a fiscally responsible package that restrains spending while providing essential federal investments that will improve water infrastructure in our country, enhance our nation’s energy and national security, and spur scientific research necessary to maintain U.S. competitiveness," said Senator Collins. "The package supports our law enforcement and provides funding for national weather forecasting and oceans and fisheries science to save lives and livelihoods. It provides investments in our public lands and upholds our commitments to tribal communities."
Details about each bill are available through the committee's website.
