Funding / Appropriations Top 2

Transfer $1 Billion to LIHEAP

Transfers $1 billion from State Department appropriations to HHS to fund the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), helping low-income households afford home heating and cooling costs.

  • Population Scope Medium LIHEAP serves roughly 6–7 million low-income households annually, a share of the U.S. population that falls in the 10–25% range when accounting for all eligible but un-served households who may benefit from expanded funding.
  • Budgetary Magnitude High A one-time transfer of $1,000,000,000 to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for FY2027 is large relative to LIHEAP's typical annual appropriation, which has historically ranged from roughly $3–4 billion.
  • Legal / Regulatory Depth Medium Creates a new statutory directive overriding two prior appropriations acts via a notwithstanding clause, but operates within LIHEAP's existing statutory framework rather than altering substantive program law.
  • Degree of Discretion Granted Low Mandatory 'shall transfer' language leaves HHS no discretion over whether to receive or distribute the funds, which flow through LIHEAP's existing formula under 42 U.S.C. § 8621.
  • Implementation & Enforcement Burden Low Relies entirely on LIHEAP's existing administrative infrastructure; no new compliance requirements, penalties, or enforcement mechanisms are created.
  • Temporal Commitment Low Funds are designated for FY2027 only, making this a one-time transfer that self-exhausts at fiscal year's end with no ongoing obligation.

Block Board of Peace Funding

Bars the Secretary of State and the President from using any already-appropriated funds for the Board of Peace, an international organization recognized by executive order.

  • Population Scope Low Directly affects a single international organization — the Board of Peace — and the narrow set of executive actors responsible for its funding, not a broad segment of the U.S. population.
  • Budgetary Magnitude Medium Prohibits obligation of an unspecified portion of State Department appropriations, with the companion provision specifying $1 billion redirected; the aggregate restricted amount is substantial but the prohibition itself does not name a dollar figure.
  • Legal / Regulatory Depth Medium Creates a new binding statutory prohibition that overrides existing appropriations authority, constraining executive discretion already exercised via Executive Order 14375, but does not restructure a program or create new enforceable rights.
  • Degree of Discretion Granted Low Imposes an absolute prohibition with no waiver authority; both the Secretary of State and the President are directed by mandatory 'shall not' language.
  • Implementation & Enforcement Burden Low No new enforcement mechanisms or compliance infrastructure is required; the prohibition is self-executing upon enactment and directed at executive officials already subject to appropriations law.
  • Temporal Commitment High Carries no expiration date or sunset, so the prohibition persists indefinitely until Congress affirmatively acts to repeal or modify it.
