This bill, titled the "Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026," provides funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. It allocates significant resources across five main titles: Departmental Management, Intelligence, Situational Awareness, and Oversight; Security, Enforcement, and Investigations; Protection, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery; Research, Development, Training, and Services; and General Provisions. Under Title I, funds are appropriated for the Office of the Secretary, Management Directorate, Federal Protective Service, Office of Intelligence and Analysis, and the Office of Inspector General. Key administrative provisions in this title mandate detailed reporting on grants and contracts, monthly budget and staffing reports, and quarterly briefings on major acquisition programs. It also sets requirements for pilot and demonstration programs and restricts certain intelligence activities. Title II focuses on Security, Enforcement, and Investigations, providing appropriations for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) , Coast Guard , and United States Secret Service (USSS) . This includes funding for TSA operations, procurement, and research, with provisions for aviation security fees. The Coast Guard receives substantial funding for operations, procurement of vessels and aircraft, research, and retired pay, including amounts for defense-related activities and oil spill response. The USSS is funded for protective operations, procurement, research, and grants for missing and exploited children investigations, with specific provisions for premium pay and reporting on protective service demands. Title III, Protection, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, allocates funds to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) . CISA receives appropriations for operations and procurement, including for cybersecurity threat feeds. FEMA's funding covers operations, procurement, and extensive federal assistance programs, such as the State Homeland Security Grant Program, Urban Area Security Initiative, Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and various grants for public transportation security, port security, firefighters, emergency management, and flood hazard mapping. This title also provides over $26 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund and funds the National Flood Insurance Fund for flood management and mitigation. Administrative provisions for FEMA include limits on grant administration expenses, strict timelines for grant applications and awards, and requirements for public dashboards on disaster reimbursement requests. It also outlines conditions for pausing training or grants. Title IV addresses Research, Development, Training, and Services, funding U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) , Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) , and the Science and Technology Directorate . USCIS receives funds for operations, including the E-Verify Program, and is authorized to use biometrics. FLETC is funded for operations, procurement, and training accreditation, with provisions for special use facilities. The Science and Technology Directorate receives appropriations for operations, procurement, and research and development. Finally, Title V contains General Provisions, establishing broad rules for the use of funds. These include limitations on reprogramming and transfer of funds, requirements for notifying Congress of significant expenditures, and restrictions on certain activities such as the use of funds for national identification cards or specific types of travel. The bill also rescinds unobligated balances from various prior appropriations accounts within DHS and includes provisions related to oversight of classified programs and reporting on unfunded priorities.
