Key Points

  • This law provides the money needed to run several major parts of the government through September 2026. It ensures that agencies like the FBI, NASA, and the National Park Service have the funds they need to keep operating and serving the public.
  • The bill includes $10.6 billion for the FBI to investigate crimes and $2.5 billion for the Drug Enforcement Administration. It also sets aside $720 million for programs that help prevent and prosecute violence against women.
  • For science and space fans, NASA receives billions of dollars for space exploration and research. This includes $7.7 billion for the program working to send humans back to the moon and eventually to Mars.
  • The plan also focuses on the environment and infrastructure. It provides billions for the EPA to help states improve drinking water systems and funds the Army Corps of Engineers to manage flood protection and keep shipping ports open.
  • Native American communities will see significant support, with funding for the Indian Health Service and programs that manage tribal lands and education. This helps provide healthcare and school repairs for many people living on tribal lands.
