The bill provides full funding for defense and national security initiatives, tightens the Visa Waiver Program to prevent terrorist travel into the US and repeals the outdated oil export ban. The economy and security are the two most important issues to my constituents, said U.S. Representative Will Hurd. We are strengthening national security so we can confidently confront radical terror threats. Were also including several game-changing measures that will recharge our nations economy and protect small businesses from over-burdensome taxes. Lifting the oil ban alone will generate billions for our nations economy, enhance National Energy Security, and provide jobs for thousands of Texans. The FY 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act passed with a final vote of 316-113 and has been sent to the Senate. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
