Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2026

This bill, H.R. 5166, is the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2026. It would authorize federal spending for the Department of the Treasury and related offices (and portions of the Executive Office of the President) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, along with a wide set of policy riders and reporting requirements that govern how that funding may be used. In addition to funding levels for treasury agencies like the IRS, FinCEN, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, and others, the bill includes many administrative provisions (transfers, reporting, and constraints) intended to shape IT modernization, cybersecurity, capital planning, and certain regulatory/technology policies. A number of policy riders address digital assets, financial transparency, and limits on regulatory actions. In short, the bill pays for government functions within financial services and general government while attaching several policy constraints and oversight requirements. It emphasizes cybersecurity and IT modernization, limits certain potential federal actions in the digital-asset space, and imposes specific statutory guardrails on regulatory standards and certain IRS and Treasury activities.
