What does this do?
H.R. 9022 sets the federal spending plan for 2027 for agencies managing water resources, energy programs, and nuclear security. It funds the Army Corps of Engineers' civil works, Interior's Bureau of Reclamation water programs, the Department of Energy's nuclear and research programs, four regional Power Marketing Administrations, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. It directs specific dollar amounts to hundreds of programs, including harbor dredging, levee repairs, nuclear stockpile maintenance, and cleanup of old nuclear sites, and sets rules on shifting funds between programs and reporting to Congress.
Who does it affect?
Communities near rivers, harbors, and dams; farmers and cities in western states; Native American tribes with water or energy programs; and workers near national labs and nuclear sites. Taxpayers and utility customers are also affected through overall federal spending and power administration funding.
Why does it matter?
The funding decisions determine which flood control, water infrastructure, and nuclear programs move forward and how much oversight Congress retains over agency spending shifts. The bill also includes a provision on firearm carry rights at Corps recreational sites.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Funds Army Corps civil works
- Funds Energy Dept nuclear programs
- Tens of billions in total spending
