The Return to Sender Act would rescind and repeal unspent federal funding that was authorized under two specific sections (70002 and 70003) of the Inflation Reduction Act, which was enacted in 2022. Any money appropriated under these sections that has not yet been committed to specific projects or obligations would be cancelled and removed from agency budgets. The bill does not specify the dollar amount of unobligated funds targeted, nor does it identify which agencies or programs would be affected. The legislation was introduced in March 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. This is a straightforward budget rescission bill with no new funding authorized and an effective date of enactment.
