Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8646) making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7726) to amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to withhold funds from noncompliant States under such Act; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7892) to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require to the Secretary of Education to use an identity fraud detection system to review each FAFSA to determine whether the FAFSA presents a reasonable suspicion of identity fraud; and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8872) to amend part A of title IV of the Social Security Act to target funds to low-income families, strengthen program integrity guardrails for State expenditure of funds, require measurement of improper payments, and establish goals for eliminating fraud and improper payments under the program of block grants to States for temporary assistance for needy families, and for other purposes.
This bill, HR1333, sets the stage for the House to review and potentially pass four different bills. First, HR8646 proposes funding for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027. Next, HR7726 aims to withhold funds from states that do not comply with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990. HR7892 suggests using an identity fraud detection system to review each FAFSA for signs of identity fraud. Lastly, HR8872 seeks to target funds to low-income families, strengthen program integrity for state funds, measure improper payments, and set goals for eliminating fraud in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
These bills would affect various groups including farmers, rural development agencies, food safety regulators, child care providers, college applicants, and low-income families. The bill was introduced on June 3, 2026, and has been reviewed by the House Committee on Rules. It was debated and passed in the House by a narrow margin of 211-207 votes. The bill is now in a state where further action is pending, such as potential amendments or further debate.
Key steps so far include the introduction of the bill, its review by a committee, and its passage in the House. The bill's future involves possible further debate, amendments, and eventual consideration by the Senate if it moves forward.
