Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
Key claim: HR5167, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, would authorize U.S. intelligence community activities and related funding for FY2026 and has been placed on the Union Calendar.
Abstract
(HR5167 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-11-28): Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 339.
Why this matters
The annual Intelligence Authorization Act is the primary legislative vehicle for authorizing U.S. intelligence community activities, personnel ceilings, and classified funding levels. Placement on the Union Calendar signals the FY2026 bill is positioned for House floor consideration, though final enactment typically depends on conference with the Senate companion or inclusion in year-end packages. Fiscal specifics remain in the classified schedule of authorizations.
