Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027 (H.R. 6500)

This bill provides continuing FY2027 appropriations for federal agencies and extends various expiring programs and authorities.

Summary by the Congressional Research Service (House agreed to Senate amendment)

What this bill does
Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027 This bill provides continuing FY2027 appropriations for federal agencies and extends various expiring programs and authorities. Specifically, the bill provides continuing FY2027 appropriations to federal agencies through the earlier of December 11, 2026, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations act. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2027 appropriations bills have not been enacted when FY2027 begins on October 1, 2026. The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2026 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility or additional appropriations for various programs. For example, the CR includes exceptions for - the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); - Small Business Administration loans; - the Disaster Relief Fund; - the Indian Health Service; - the Department of Justice; and - wildfire suppression activities. In addition, the bill extends several expiring authorizations, including authorities and programs related to - agriculture, - flood insurance, - cybersecurity, - surface transportation, - veterans benefits, - housing, - defense production, and - trade preferences for Haiti and certain countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The bill also includes provisions that - temporarily prohibit the implementation of a regulation that revises guidance for federal financial assistance, - delay the implementation of certain changes to the statutory definition of hemp, - extend the freeze on cost-of-living adjustments for Members of Congress and limits on pay increases for the Vice President and certain senior political appointees, and - provide death gratuities to beneficiaries of two Members of Congress who died while in office.

H.J.Res. 142

This joint resolution nullifies legislation enacted by the Council of the District of Columbia (DC) on December 20, 2025, titled DC Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025.

Summary by the Congressional Research Service (Introduced in House)

What this bill does
This joint resolution nullifies legislation enacted by the Council of the District of Columbia (DC) on December 20, 2025, titled DC Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025. The nullification reinstates certain DC tax code provisions that were in place before the enactment of the DC legislation and that address, among other things, the standard tax deduction, taxation of tipped wages, and depreciation of qualified property. As background, DC automatically adopts, as DC law, changes to federal tax law (known as rolling conformity). Upon enactment of H.R.1 (commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act), its tax provisions became DC law, including provisions that increase the standard tax deduction, exempt tips from taxable income, and provide for an elective 100% depreciation allowance for nonresidential real property. The DC legislation subsequently decoupled the DC tax code from these and other tax provisions that originated in H.R.1, and it amended several other provisions in the DC tax code, including restoring the DC child tax credit.

Their work, week to week

Computed by us from the roll call records published by the House Clerk and the Senate; identical rules apply to every member. Eligible votes: every roll call in the member's chamber from the first to the last roll call on which the member is listed, inclusive. Votes cast: recorded Yea/Aye or Nay/No (impeachment Guilty / Not Guilty counted the same way, as the Senate tallies them). Present: recorded Present. Missed: recorded Not Voting. Any other response (for example a candidate's name in a Speaker election) is counted as 'other'. Party-line roll calls: a majority of voting Republicans and a majority of voting Democrats took opposite sides (yes vs. no); ties within a party mean no majority. Voted with party: on those roll calls, the member voted yes or no and matched the majority of the party shown next to their name on that roll call. Party-line votes the member did not cast yes or no on are excluded. Members listed as Independent are compared with the party whose majority they matched more often on party-line roll calls in that chamber (their de facto caucus); if exactly tied, they are excluded from the party-line measure. Delegates and the Resident Commissioner (DC, PR, AS, GU, MP, VI) may vote only on some roll calls (in the Committee of the Whole), and the Clerk lists them only on those (with state "XX"); the Clerk's roll call files carry no other marker of which votes they may cast. They are identified by that "XX" listing (which also covers delegates who have left) and by the current member list. Their eligible votes are the roll calls on which the Clerk lists them, and they are left out of the party-line measure and of the party majorities it compares against.

Each time is one Record item from the floor where GPO lists them as a speaker; many are short remarks or requests. Topics are ranked by the days they spoke on them. Written statements are Extensions of Remarks: printed, not spoken.

Amendments offered on the floor are those that came up for action (adopted, rejected, tabled, withdrawn, ruled out of order, or still pending). Filed ones never came up.

Hearing and markup counts are for the whole committee and its subcommittees, from Congress.gov's meeting records (canceled and postponed meetings left out). Congress does not publish who attended, so these counts say nothing about whether this member was there.

A discharge petition needs 218 signatures to force a vote. We count signatures still on each petition.

The office budget is the Members' Representational Allowance. Bills for 2025 keep arriving for months, so totals can still grow. House medians compare the 427 offices with a full-year budget (members seated mid-year get a smaller, prorated one).

Summary by the Congressional Research Service (Passed Senate)

What this bill does
Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026 This bill ends the government shutdown by providing FY2026 continuing appropriations for most federal agencies through January 30, 2026, and providing appropriations through the end of FY2026 for agriculture, military construction and veterans affairs, and legislative branch programs. It also extends various expiring programs and authorities. Specifically, the bill provides continuing FY2026 appropriations to most federal agencies through the earlier of January 30, 2026, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations act. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and ends the government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025, because the FY2026 appropriations bills had not been enacted. The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2025 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs. The bill also provides back pay to all federal employees who were not paid during the government shutdown, prohibits federal agencies from taking actions related to a reduction in force (RIF) through January 30, 2026, and nullifies RIFs that were implemented by federal agencies between October 1, 2025, and the date of enactment for this bill. In addition, the bill includes three regular FY2026 appropriations bills that fund the following agencies and activities though the end of FY2026: - the Department of Agriculture, - the Food and Drug Administration, - Department of Defense military construction and family housing activities, - the Department of Veterans Affairs, - Congress and agencies that support Congress, and - several related and independent agencies. Finally, the bill extends several expiring authorities and programs, including authorities related to - public health, Medicare, and Medicaid; - cybersecurity; - agriculture; - Food and Drug Administration user fees; - veterans benefits; - actions to mitigate a threat from an unmanned aircraft system (i.e., drones); and - the Defense Production Act of 1950.

Their work, week to week

Computed by us from the roll call records published by the House Clerk and the Senate; identical rules apply to every member. Eligible votes: every roll call in the member's chamber from the first to the last roll call on which the member is listed, inclusive. Votes cast: recorded Yea/Aye or Nay/No (impeachment Guilty / Not Guilty counted the same way, as the Senate tallies them). Present: recorded Present. Missed: recorded Not Voting. Any other response (for example a candidate's name in a Speaker election) is counted as 'other'. Party-line roll calls: a majority of voting Republicans and a majority of voting Democrats took opposite sides (yes vs. no); ties within a party mean no majority. Voted with party: on those roll calls, the member voted yes or no and matched the majority of the party shown next to their name on that roll call. Party-line votes the member did not cast yes or no on are excluded. Members listed as Independent are compared with the party whose majority they matched more often on party-line roll calls in that chamber (their de facto caucus); if exactly tied, they are excluded from the party-line measure. Delegates and the Resident Commissioner (DC, PR, AS, GU, MP, VI) may vote only on some roll calls (in the Committee of the Whole), and the Clerk lists them only on those (with state "XX"); the Clerk's roll call files carry no other marker of which votes they may cast. They are identified by that "XX" listing (which also covers delegates who have left) and by the current member list. Their eligible votes are the roll calls on which the Clerk lists them, and they are left out of the party-line measure and of the party majorities it compares against.

Each time is one Record item from the floor where GPO lists them as a speaker; many are short remarks or requests. Topics are ranked by the days they spoke on them. Written statements are Extensions of Remarks: printed, not spoken.

Amendments offered on the floor are those that came up for action (adopted, rejected, tabled, withdrawn, ruled out of order, or still pending). Filed ones never came up.

Hearing and markup counts are for the whole committee and its subcommittees, from Congress.gov's meeting records (canceled and postponed meetings left out). Congress does not publish who attended, so these counts say nothing about whether this member was there.

Senate committees record most sessions where they vote on bills as business meetings, not markups, so Senate lines count hearings only.
