# H.R. 5672 Summary
This bill is a continuing appropriations measure that keeps the federal government operating through January 11, 2024, while providing supplemental funding for disaster relief, Ukraine assistance, and several other programs. It allows all federal agencies to continue operations at 2023 spending levels and includes approximately $16 billion for disaster relief administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The bill dedicates substantial funds to supporting Ukraine, including over $13 billion in military assistance through the Defense Department and roughly $8 billion in economic and humanitarian support through State Department programs. These Ukraine funds cover military personnel, equipment, ammunition, weapons systems, and civilian aid for refugees and reconstruction. The measure also includes $100 million for refugee assistance, primarily for individuals fleeing Ukraine and other conflict zones.
The legislation makes significant changes to immigration enforcement, giving authorities expanded power to expel asylum seekers arriving at the southern border without hearings through the end of 2024, though it includes protections against returning people to countries where they face persecution or torture. It extends multiple aviation-related programs and provides ongoing funding for community health centers and assistance programs for low-income families through mid-January 2024.
The bill includes oversight provisions requiring regular reporting to Congress on how Ukraine assistance funds are spent, with requirements for monitoring mechanisms and third-party audits to prevent waste and fraud. It establishes limits on U.S. contributions to Ukraine's government and includes budgetary language exempting these emergency appropriations from standard deficit-reduction rules.
