WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson issued a statement Monday following the release of the final set of fiscal year 2026 appropriations bills, emphasizing House Republicans’ effort to complete the appropriations process through regular order rather than a single omnibus package.
“This week, House Republicans will consider the final set of FY26 funding bills and complete the annual appropriations process — without a bloated omnibus bill,” Johnson said. “As promised, House Republicans are restoring regular order and returning the appropriations process to a committee-led approach, as it should be.”
The final group of appropriations measures includes funding for Defense; Homeland Security; Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development.
Johnson noted that the House has already passed eight conferenced appropriations bills with broad support and expects similar results for the remaining four. He said the full set of 12 appropriations bills will provide full-year government funding, avoid unrelated policy measures, and reduce spending compared with another continuing resolution.
“After years of Washington abandoning regular order, this Congress under Republican leadership has proven it can work as intended,” Johnson said. “Together, all 12 individual appropriations bills will provide full-year government funding without unrelated policy provisions, spend less than another continuing resolution, and continue to advance President Trump’s America First agenda.”
