Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins released a Legislative Branch funding proposal with more than $7.5 billion in discretionary funding, including $860 million for the Government Accountability Office. The bill is intended to launch bipartisan, bicameral negotiations ahead of the December 11, 2026, shutdown deadline; it is not enacted funding, so related agency budgets and procurement plans remain subject to change.
