This bill repeals a provision (Section 213) from a 2026 spending law that the bill's sponsors view as problematic, restoring an older rule from the 2005 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act in its place. The legislation affects Congress and how it handles certain appropriations matters, though the bill itself does not specify what the controversial Section 213 actually does or what funding amounts are involved. The bill would take effect retroactively, as if the disputed provision had never been enacted in the first place. Introduced by a group of 34 Democratic and Independent senators in November 2025, the legislation was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for consideration but contains no explicit funding or implementation timeline beyond the retroactive effective date.
