During a lapse in appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), this bill lets the Secretary of Homeland Security transfer certain unobligated funds between DHS accounts. The transfers may include any unobligated funds appropriated under section 90005 or 90007 of Public Law 119-21 (the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act") and any unobligated funds appropriated or otherwise made available under Public Law 119-21 for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The Secretary may not transfer funds into the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management, ICE, or CBP. The bill also prohibits using any transferred funds to appoint an individual to a vacant DHS position.
If Congress does not pass DHS funding and a lapse in appropriations occurs, the DHS Secretary could move certain unused funds from specified appropriations to other DHS accounts. The transfers are limited: money cannot be moved into the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management, ICE, or CBP. Transferred funds cannot be used to fill vacant jobs. The bill text does not say which specific programs would receive transferred funds.
No publicly available information on costs or overall budgetary effects. The bill describes transfers of unobligated existing funds; it does not create new appropriations or provide estimates of net spending.
