Earmark Elimination Act of 2026

This bill, titled the "Earmark Elimination Act of 2026," aims to prevent the consideration of legislation containing specific financial benefits in the House of Representatives. It establishes a strict prohibition against any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report that includes a congressional earmark , limited tax benefit , or limited tariff benefit . The legislation implements a point of order procedure, allowing members to challenge measures containing these provisions. If a point of order is sustained, the offending earmark or benefit is automatically stricken from the measure. For conference reports or motions to concur with Senate amendments, a sustained point of order can lead to the rejection of the entire measure, triggering special procedures for resolution. The bill provides clear definitions for the prohibited items. A congressional earmark is defined as a provision targeting specific funding for an entity or location outside of formula-driven or competitive processes. A limited tax benefit refers to revenue-losing tax provisions benefiting 10 or fewer entities with non-uniform criteria, or transition relief for a single beneficiary. Lastly, a limited tariff benefit is a tariff schedule modification benefiting 10 or fewer entities.
