Legislative Breakdown4 bills

These bills represent a mix of House and Senate versions, procedural resolutions, and final enacted laws that collectively form the 2026 federal budget. Multiple bills are grouped together because Congress must pass separate pieces of legislation for different government sectors, often requiring House and Senate chambers to reconcile their specific versions before a final law is signed.
