The bill would provide temporary funding for Head Start programs during any period in fiscal year 2026 when interim or full-year appropriations are not in effect. It would continue activities conducted in fiscal year 2025 under the same authority and conditions as the 2025 continuing appropriations law. The funding would end when relevant appropriations are enacted, when a Health and Human Services appropriations law is enacted without funding for these activities, or on September 30, 2026, whichever comes first. The bill would take effect as if enacted on September 30, 2025.
The bill would help prevent interruptions to covered Head Start activities during a gap in fiscal year 2026 funding. It does not describe changes to program eligibility or services.
The bill authorizes sums necessary from the Treasury but does not specify a dollar amount. Spending under the bill would be charged to the applicable appropriation, fund, or authorization if later enacted.
