Senate Committee Approves FY24 Financial Service & General Government Appropriations Bill

Press Release

"This bill is the result of tough, bipartisan negotiations, and while it doesn't include everything that every member wanted, the bill contains a host of important provisions that improve the efficiency and operations of the federal government, protect U.S. economic competitiveness, and enhance services for our constituents. Importantly, the bill freezes the discretionary budget for the IRS for the second consecutive fiscal year and claws back $10 billion of mandatory funding for "IRS Enforcement Operations' that was previously provided in a partisan manner. Additionally, this bill includes critical funding to combat the drug epidemic that is killing more than 100,000 Americans every year. Finally, the bill includes several important provisions that will strengthen our national security, root out waste, fraud, and abuse, and strengthen American financial systems."
