Consolidated Appropriations Act

The Consolidated Appropriations Act is a large piece of legislation passed by Congress that combines multiple government funding bills into one. It allocates federal funds for various government departments and programs for a given fiscal year, covering areas like defense, education, healthcare, and more. Additionally, it often includes policy provisions, tax changes, and measures aimed at addressing broader economic or social issues. Essentially, it’s a comprehensive budget package that ensures the government has the necessary funding to operate across many sectors, while also incorporating important legislative changes.
