National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027
This bill requires anyone registering to vote in federal elections to provide official paper proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization certificate—and show a government photo ID to vote in person or by mail. On foreign policy, it funds the State Department and international security operations for 2027, guaranteeing billions in military aid for Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Taiwan while cutting over $1.8 billion from existing international disaster and development accounts. The measure also stops federal funds from going to the United Nations Palestinian relief agency (UNRWA), international climate funds, overseas abortion services, and foreign diversity or gender programs, while allowing local public libraries to accept U.S. passport applications.
