Congressional Bill H.R. 7147 Signed into Law

Key Points

• Trump signed H.R. 7147 into law on April 30, 2026, providing continued government funding through the end of fiscal year 2026. This prevents a government shutdown by keeping federal agencies operating and funded.
• The law specifically addresses Homeland Security funding along with broader continuing appropriations for the federal government. This means agencies like CBP, TSA, FEMA, and other DHS components will have the money they need to operate through September.
• Because the full text of the appropriations bill is not included in this signing statement, the specific funding levels, policy riders, and programmatic details are not available for deeper analysis. The document only confirms the bill was signed into law.
• By signing this bill, the government avoids the disruption of a shutdown, which would have furloughed federal workers, paused many government services, and delayed payments to contractors and benefit programs.
