This bill, titled the "Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026," provides comprehensive funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. It allocates funds across various DHS components, including the Office of the Secretary, Management Directorate, Office of Intelligence and Analysis, Office of Inspector General, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Coast Guard, U.S. Secret Service, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC), and the Science and Technology Directorate. Key appropriations include significant amounts for CBP operations and support, TSA operations, Coast Guard operations and procurement, and Secret Service operations. FEMA receives substantial funding for federal assistance grants, including State Homeland Security Grants, Urban Area Security Initiative, Nonprofit Security Grants, and Assistance to Firefighter Grants. The bill also appropriates over $26 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund and funds the National Flood Insurance Fund. Administrative provisions within the DHS appropriations division establish reporting requirements for grants and contracts, monthly budget and staffing reports, and oversight of acquisition programs. They also place restrictions on certain activities, such as the use of funds for new pilot programs without documented objectives and assessment methodologies, and prohibit the use of certain surveillance systems by CBP. Specific funding is allocated for body-worn cameras for enforcement agents and for the procurement of MQ-9 aircraft for the Coast Guard. Division B, the "Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026," extends the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026, and addresses a period of lapsed appropriations. It ratifies obligations incurred during this period to maintain essential government functions and ensures the availability of funds for personnel pay, allowances, and benefits across federal departments and agencies. Division C, the "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act" or "SAVE America Act," introduces significant changes to federal election law. It defines "documentary proof of United States citizenship" and mandates that states require this proof for voter registration in federal elections. This requirement applies to all methods of voter registration, including motor vehicle applications, mail-in forms, and agency-based registrations. The Act requires states to take affirmative steps to ensure only citizens are registered to vote, including submitting voter rolls to the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system for comparison. Federal departments and agencies are mandated to share information with state election officials to verify citizenship status, and the Secretary of Homeland Security must investigate non-citizens unlawfully registered to vote for potential removal proceedings. Furthermore, the SAVE America Act establishes new photo identification requirements for casting ballots in federal elections. Individuals voting in person must present a valid physical photo identification , with provisions for provisional ballots if ID is not presented, requiring subsequent presentation of ID or a religious objection affidavit. For non-in-person voting, a copy of a valid photo ID or the last four digits of a Social Security number with an affidavit of inability to obtain ID is required, with exceptions for uniformed services and overseas voters and disabled voters. The bill specifies acceptable forms of valid photo identification, such as state-issued driver's licenses, state ID cards, U.S. passports, military IDs, and tribal government IDs. States are required to ensure public access to digital imaging devices for copying IDs and to notify applicants of these new photo identification requirements during voter registration. The Election Assistance Commission is tasked with providing guidance for implementing these new requirements, and criminal penalties are established for certain violations related to voter registration and citizenship verification.
