The House Appropriations Committee today released the draft fiscal year 2023 Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies funding bill, which will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow. The legislation funds agencies and programs in the Departments of Transportation (DOT) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The House Appropriations Committee today approved the fiscal year 2023 Defense bill on a 32-26 vote.

“Instead of catering to the biggest corporations and billionaires that despite record profits continue to raise their prices, House Democrats and the Appropriations Committee are once again introducing government funding bills that help the middle class, working families, small businesses, and the vulnerable who work hard. These allocations reflect our commitment to a framework for the upcoming fiscal year with three critically distinct components."

The House Appropriations Committee today released its reports accompanying the fiscal year 2023 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies appropriations bills.

"The 2023 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies bill makes our communities safer by increasing funding for local law enforcement who deserve our respect as they work day in and day out to protect us.”

"These investments responsibly strengthen our nuclear deterrent, protect our national security, and meet our obligations to environmental cleanup efforts. With funding to confront the climate crisis, increase energy security, and rebuild critical infrastructure, this funding will impact every corner of our nation.”

“With this State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs funding bill, we are strengthening the global public health infrastructure which is critical to combatting the spread of COVID-19. We are supporting women and girls, combatting climate change, and increasing humanitarian assistance. "

"The funding in this bill will revitalize our economy while protecting and preserving the land for future generations.”
