Provides temporary FY2026 funding authority for the United States Capitol Police so members can be paid and supported during any period when interim or full-year appropriations for FY2026 are not in effect. It allows payment of salaries, benefits, supporting civilian staff, and contractors who provide services to Capitol Police, and requires accounting to the correct appropriation once a full appropriations law is enacted.
The authority lasts only until the first of three events: a law funds the Capitol Police through Sept. 30, 2026 for the same purposes, a law funds the legislative branch through Sept. 30, 2026 but not those same purposes, or Sept. 30, 2026. The Act is effective retroactively to Oct. 1, 2025 and requires that pay for the period from Oct. 1, 2025 through the day before enactment be paid as soon as practicable after enactment.
