Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026

This legislation proposes the annual budget for a wide range of federal departments and agencies responsible for law enforcement, economic development, and scientific research. If enacted, it would provide the necessary funding for the Department of Justice to operate the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the federal prison system. It also aims to support state and local police through grants for community policing and programs focused on addressing violence against women.

Beyond law enforcement, the bill would fund the Department of Commerce, which oversees the Census Bureau, patent approvals, and weather monitoring through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It also proposes funding for major science initiatives, including NASA's space exploration missions and the National Science Foundation's research grants. Additionally, the bill would provide resources for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Legal Services Corporation, which helps provide legal aid to low-income Americans.
