The Return to Sender Act would rescind and repeal unspent funding from two sections of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act—specifically sections 70002 and 70003. Any money appropriated under these sections that hasn't yet been committed to specific projects or expenses would be eliminated and returned to the Treasury. The bill affects ongoing federal spending programs funded through the Inflation Reduction Act but does not specify which programs or how much money would be reclaimed. Introduced by Senator Joni Ernst in March 2025, the legislation provides no timeline for implementation beyond the date of enactment, and no funding amounts are detailed in the bill text.
