Painter", null, "Through appropriations legislation, Congress provides not only budget authority for federal agencies and departments to operate, but also legally binding direction on how that budget authority can (or cannot) be used. \nThese directions may appear in three places in an appropriations act:\nin the language of individual appropriations;\nin administrative provisions at the end of a title; and\nin general provisions at the end of a bill (or division, in the case of a consolidated measure, where multiple bills are combined in one).\nSome of these directions directly relate to the management of budget authority enacted in the measure, while others relate to policy or operational matters. Sometimes enacted appropriations measures include authorizing (or \u201clegislative\u201d) provisions as well.\nAs with any legislation, these provisions are not unchanging. Due to the passage of time or other legislative developments, a provision may require adjustment or lose its relevance. Provisions enacted in appropriations legislation are a focus of negotiations between the parties and between the chambers during the appropriations process and may evolve until a compromise is reached in the final measure. \nRather than detailing the entire catalog of administrative and general provisions in each of the various versions of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Act, 2027 (H.R. 9310, 119th Congress), this report focuses on the proposed substantive changes from the FY2026 baseline (current law), as established by the DHS Appropriations Act, 2026 (P.L. 119-86). This report discusses potential changes from that baseline, as reflected in the\ndetailed proposals for administrative and general provisions made in the Trump Administration\u2019s FY2027 Budget Appendix outlining the appropriations request for DHS; and\nadministrative and general provisions in House Appropriations Committee (HAC)-reported H.R. 9310.\n", "https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R49342/R49342.2.pdf", "https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/HTML/R49342.html"]], "columns": ["id", "title", "publish_date", "update_date", "status", "content_type", "authors", "topics", "summary", "pdf_url", "html_url"], "primary_keys": ["id"], "primary_key_values": ["R49342"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.23638398852199316, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
