Summit Strategies August Local Government Update
Senators Make Progress on Appropriations Before August
Recess
Before heading home for August recess, Senators made progress on several Fiscal Year 2026 spending bills. The Senate approved a three bill “minibus” that combined the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs; Agriculture; and Legislative Branch bills by a bipartisan vote of 87-9. The Senate Appropriations Committee has also reported the Transportation-HUD; Labor- HHS-Education; Interior-Environment; Defense; and Commerce-Justice-Science bills out of committee.
The House has passed two FY 2026 spending bills – the Defense and Military Construction- Veterans affairs bills – and the House Appropriations Committee has reported all but three of the remaining bills out of committee.
Despite the progress, Congress remains significantly behind in finishing passage of all spending bills before government funding expires on September 30th. A stopgap funding measure will very likely be necessary to keep the government open while negotiations on the spending packages continue.
At this point, it is far from certain that a stopgap funding measure will pass. Conservatives usually oppose short-term spending bills and Democrats are furious after the passage of a package of rescissions of previously enacted appropriations last month. Given that Democratic votes are needed to pass any funding measure in the Senate, the endgame for the FY 2026 government funding remains very uncertain.

Interior Launches Overhaul of Offshore Wind Rules to Prioritize American Energy Security
The Department of the Interior is launching a full review of offshore wind energy regulations to ensure alignment with the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and America’s energy priorities under President Donald J.

Government officials across the country showed support including House Western Caucus Chairman Doug LaMalfa (R-CA-01).
