FY 2026 Action on CR and Final Bill:
On January 30, 2026, the Senate amended the FY2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act to include a 2-week CR for Homeland Security through February 13, 2026 (after which DHS shutdown until April 30, 2026).

On March 5, 2026 the House passed H.R. 7744 by a vote of 221-209.

On March 26, 2026, the House passed H.R. 8029.

On March 27, 2026 the Senate considered S. Amdt. 4790 to H.R. 7147, a Senate amendment in the nature of a substitute providing annual FY2026 appropriations for Homeland Security. The Senate then passed the amended legislation by voice vote.

Later on March 27, 2026, the House considered an amendment to the Senate amended version of H.R. 7147. The House amendment replaced the Senate passed text of the bill with text providing a CR through May 22, 2026. The House passed H.Res.1142 by a roll call vote of 213-203 which deemed the House amended version of H.R. 7147 as passed.

On April 2, 2026, the Senate took up the House amendment of March 27, and agreed, by voice vote, to a motion to table the House message. This action had the effect of returning the House message (a House amendment to a Senate amendment to H.R. 7147) back to the House.

April 30, 2026 - DHS Shutdown Ends: House passed HR 7147, the FY 2026 DHS Appropriations bill (without ICE and CBP funding which is being addressed in a separate party-line budget reconciliation bill because the GOP rejected Democrats’ insistence on imposing guardrails on ICE and CBP arrest tactics). Became PL 119-86.

In most respects House and Senate appropriations subcommittee jurisdictions are parallel.

Omnibus or Consolidated: all (or most) regular appropriations bills packaged together.
Minibus: several regular appropriations bills packaged together.
CR: continues agency funding at a particular level–often the previous year–without detailed appropriations.
Cromnibus: a CR for some agencies and detailed appropriations for others.
Note on Joint Statements: In many cases, (House-Senate) joint explanatory statements on omnibus appropriations bills are printed only in the Congressional Record–which is impossible to read on mobile devices. In those cases, we have uploaded House Rules Committee PDFs.
In 2003, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees created new subcommittees to consider appropriations for the newly created Department of Homeland Security.
