This bill sets the 2026 budgets for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and several related agencies. It also adds many limits on how that money can be used. The funding covers the year ending September 30, 2026 .
It blocks funding for several gun control actions (like buybacks, “red flag” laws, and any federal gun registry) and stops multiple recent ATF rules from being enforced. It also says firearms can’t be taken without notice and a chance for a hearing . It limits immigration-related spending, such as legal help and fee payments for people who entered the U.S. illegally, stops certain asylum-processing changes, and keeps people here unlawfully out of the census counts used to divide seats in Congress . It curbs diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and trainings (including critical race theory) and bars hiring based on race, sex, national origin, or religion; it also protects policies that define sex by biology for certain education rules . The bill blocks or pauses some climate and wildlife rules and funding, including certain NOAA actions on whales and offshore wind, and some climate research programs at Commerce and NSF . It also limits government ties with China (for example, NASA partnerships), bars funding for certain foreign labs (like the Wuhan Institute of Virology), and cuts off money to U.S. colleges that partner in STEM with schools controlled by China’s government . The bill tells agencies not to label Americans’ speech as “misinformation” or fund outside groups that push companies to censor lawful speech, bans COVID-19 vaccine mandates or passports, and requires government networks to block pornography (with law-enforcement exceptions) . It also updates Cuba property-claims law so more people can sue over property taken by the Cuban government, including allowing some past cases to be refiled and repealing a prior limit . Finally, it limits how often the Census Bureau can ask you to answer a voluntary survey and bars forcing you to respond.
