AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let the Secretary of Homeland Security move certain unspent funds to other Department of Homeland Security accounts during a lapse in appropriations, such as a government shutdown. The funds that could be moved are unspent money provided by Public Law 119-21 (known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act") under sections 90005 or 90007, or for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The money could not be moved into accounts of the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management, ICE, or CBP. Moved funds could not be used to fill vacant positions in the Department.
