This bill establishes continuing appropriations for the United States Capitol Police during any period in fiscal year 2026 when regular funding is not in effect due to a government shutdown. It specifically allocates funds to cover salaries , including overtime, hazardous duty pay, and various employee benefits for essential Capitol Police members and their supporting civilian staff. The measure also ensures payments to contractors who provide critical support to these officers. These appropriations are designed as a temporary measure, becoming active only when other interim or full-year appropriations for the Capitol Police are absent. Expenditures made under this act will be charged against future applicable appropriations once they are enacted into law. The funding and authority will terminate upon the enactment of full appropriations for the Capitol Police or the legislative branch through September 30, 2026, or by September 30, 2026, whichever occurs first. The act is effective as of October 1, 2025, with a provision for retroactive payments.
