Multiple provisions target LGBTQ individuals. Schools lose federal funding if transgender girls play on girls' sports teams. The bill blocks enforcement of a 2024 Title IX rule expanding gender identity protections, bans federal funds for gender-affirming medical care, blocks LGBTQI+ foster care placement rules, and prohibits enforcement of Biden-era executive orders on gender identity discrimination.
“None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to provide financial assistance to an educational institution that allows an individual whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.”
Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 227.
The bill is now on the schedule for the full chamber to consider. It's in line for debate and a vote.
The House Committee on Appropriations reported an original measure, H. Rept. 119-271, by Mr. Aderholt.
Republican appropriators are proposing $67 billion in discretionary funding for the Education Department in fiscal 2026 — a $12 billion slash from the fiscal 2025 enacted level. The House spending bill would bolster the Trump administration's education agenda, including renaming Workforce Pell Grants to 'Trump Grants.'
The Senate Appropriations Committee approved an appropriations bill for the Departments of Labor, HHS, and Education. Many of the increases and flat funding included in the bill are in sharp contrast to President Trump's budget proposal, which makes large cuts to healthcare funding.
The House Appropriations Committee passed a bill that would slash AmeriCorps funding by nearly 50% and rename the program the 'America First Corps.' President Trump's proposed budget had called for funding just enough for necessary expenses to carry out the closure of the agency.
