SA 4273, submitted by Ms. Collins, is an amendment to bill H.R. 7148. Its purpose is to add and modify "Division H," titled the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026.

  • Payments and Obligations: It ensures that funds for personnel pay, allowances, and benefits in each department and agency are available for payments. It also ratifies and approves obligations made to protect life and property and to ensure the orderly termination of Government function.
