Bills & Spending

H.R. 1892Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018

Official title: To amend title 4, United States Code, to provide for the flying of the flag at half-staff in the event of the death of a first responder in the line of duty. (Enacted as the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, Public Law 115-123)

What the tracked text contains

Of the money itself: $110.3B across 33 tracked line-items — community & regional development ($52.1B, 47%), health ($28.5B, 26%) and water ($17.4B, 16%) lead; 7 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $28,000,000,000 for Community Development Block Grant disaster recovery (CDBG-DR): long-term recovery, housing, infrastructure and mitigation in areas hit by 2017 disasters. Beyond the cash, the text also sets $2.45T of authorizations (a ceiling on future spending), $35.4B of set-asides (already counted above) and $20.5B of revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it. The dated money sits in fiscal 2018 — 3% of tracked dollars carry a year in the text.

Where the money goes

$110.3B across 33 tracked items · compare against another law →

This law mostly caps future spending, it doesn’t spend. Its largest figures are statutory limits on what future appropriations bills may provide — a ceiling imposed on Congress, not money handed out. The pie shows the small directly-spent part; the caps are disclosed below.

The largest verified line-items. This pie breaks down the biggest spending items in the bill — appropriations and mandatory (direct) spending — by category. Every dollar is quoted from the text; click any slice to read them. It is not necessarily every dollar in the bill, and the gaps are not always small ones — where an account was left out, How this was built at the foot of this page says so and why, and a large omission can change which category ranks first. Figures that aren’t spending — authorizations, guarantee ceilings, pay-fors, and carve-outs already counted — are deliberately left out and disclosed below.

The money map

blocks sized by dollars — open one for the law’s own words

Area is dollars. Each block is one category of tracked spending in H.R. 1892, sized by its share of the $110.3B this page tracks. Open a block and it lists the line-items inside it, each with the passage of the enacted text that carries the dollar figure, quoted word for word, and the section it sits in. Category names are the extraction’s own labels, printed as they come — nothing here calls a category worthwhile or wasteful. The quote is the argument.

This map divides the same tracked total the pie above divides — money the text writes as exact dollar lines. It is not the bill’s total fiscal effect: what the extraction leaves out is stated above the pie and in How this was built at the foot of this page, and the dollars deliberately kept out of the count are listed under the map.

3 of the 10 blocks are too small to carry a label without overprinting themselves, so they are drawn blank — every category is named, with its figures, in the rows and the table below.

What’s in this bill

every mechanism we could extract, at one scale

A law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 1892 actually spends against what it authorizes, caps, guarantees or pays for. Every bar is a sample. Each one sums the tracked line-items in that mechanism — the largest figures that appear in the text as an exact dollar string — so a bar is a floor, not a mechanism total, and on some laws it is a small fraction of one. Each bar carries its item count and, where the items carry years, the span it covers and where those years came from.

Appropriations & direct spending$110.3B
33 tracked items · FY2018–FY2019 combined, not one year, on 4 of 33; the rest carry no year
cash out the door — this is what the pie above divides up
Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending) · not spending$2.45T
4 tracked items
“There are authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a CAP on what a future appropriations bill may provide — it is permission, not money. Much of a landmark law’s headline figure is this. It is disclosed here, never summed into the pie, because the cash only exists if a later bill actually appropriates it.
Set-asides (already counted above) · not spending$35.4B
4 tracked items
A carve-out or reservation WITHIN a larger line-item already in the pie (e.g. a share of a fund reserved for a specific use). Shown for detail but NOT summed in — its dollars are part of the parent, and counting both would double-count.
Revenue & offsets (pay-fors) · not spending$20.5B
4 tracked items · FY2020–FY2021 combined, not one year, on 2 of 4; the rest carry no year
Tax changes, rescissions and other provisions that RAISE or save money rather than spend it. Not spending — disclosed so the law’s cost is not overstated by ignoring how it was paid for.

These bars are not added together. Only the top bar is money leaving the Treasury. The rest are ceilings, borrowing limits, carve-outs of money already counted above, or pay-fors — summing them would count the same dollars twice and treat permission to spend as spending. How this was built says what each extraction left out.

What CBO says it does to the deficit

No verified CBO estimate is on file for this bill yet — the gap is stated here rather than filled from memory or news coverage.

The terms on this page, in plain English

What these things actually are — and what this bill does to each of them. Written for readers, not staffers; every figure in the “in this bill” lines appears elsewhere on this page.

Authorization (“authorized to be appropriated”)

Permission, not money. “There is authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a ceiling on what a future spending bill may provide — and if that later bill never passes, not a dollar moves. Much of a landmark law's famous headline number is this kind of permission, which is why this site never adds it to the spending total.

Mandatory vs. discretionary spending

Discretionary money must be re-approved every year in appropriations bills — if Congress does nothing, it stops. Mandatory (also called direct) spending is written into permanent law and flows automatically until Congress changes the law itself. Benefit programs mostly work the mandatory way, which is why they don't show up in the yearly funding fights.

Rescission

Taking back money Congress previously provided that hasn't been spent yet. It reduces spending on paper; how much it saves in practice depends on whether the money was ever going out the door.

Statutory spending caps

A law telling future appropriations bills how big they may be. The caps are enforced by automatic across-the-board cuts if Congress breaches them. They are limits on future decisions — not money moving — so a cap figure can be enormous while the law itself spends comparatively little.

Set-aside (carve-out)

A floor inside money already counted: “of the amounts above, at least $X shall go to Y.” It steers the money rather than adding to it — counting a carve-out again would double-count — so it is disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.

When the money is for

no year

3 of 33 tracked line-items carry a fiscal year in their own quoted text — 3% of the tracked dollars. The no year column is money the text appropriates without naming a year in the quoted passage; it is shown so the dated columns aren’t mistaken for the whole schedule.

“Did not vote” is not the same as “absent.” The record distinguishes Present — there, and formally declining to take a side — from Not Voting, where no vote was cast. That is usually absence, but the roll call does not say so, so this table does not either.

These tallies count the 255 members sitting today who have a recorded position, not the historical result. Several of these bills passed in earlier Congresses, and members who have since left are not in the roster — so the totals here are smaller than the 435 + 100 that voted at the time. Where both chambers held a recorded vote, a member is grouped by the chamber they sit in now; anyone who has switched chambers since then appears in their current row.

Statutory spending caps (a limit, not permission)$2.45T

These figures amend the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act to set a CEILING on what future appropriations bills may provide. They are the opposite of an authorization: an authorization is permission to seek money later, a cap is a limit imposed on future Congresses. No cash moves either way, so they are disclosed here and never summed into the pie.

  • CEILING, NOT MONEY: raised statutory discretionary spending cap for the FY2019 revised SECURITY category$647.0B
  • CEILING, NOT MONEY: raised statutory discretionary spending cap for the FY2018 revised SECURITY category — a limit on future appropriations Acts, appropriating nothing itself$629.0B
  • CEILING, NOT MONEY: raised statutory discretionary spending cap for the FY2019 revised NONSECURITY category$597.0B
  • CEILING, NOT MONEY: raised statutory discretionary spending cap for the FY2018 revised NONSECURITY category$579.0B

Set-asides (already counted above)$35.4B

A carve-out or reservation WITHIN a larger line-item already in the pie (e.g. a share of a fund reserved for a specific use). Shown for detail but NOT summed in — its dollars are part of the parent, and counting both would double-count.

  • Carve-out INSIDE the $28,000,000,000 CDBG-DR account: minimum allocated for mitigation activities (not additional money)$12.0B
  • Carve-out INSIDE the $28,000,000,000 CDBG-DR account: minimum for jurisdictions hit by Hurricane Maria (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands)$11.0B
  • Carve-out INSIDE the $15,055,000,000 Corps Construction account: minimum for projects in states/insular areas hit by Harvey, Irma and Maria$10.4B
  • Carve-out INSIDE the CDBG-DR Hurricane Maria allocation: rebuilding enhanced or improved electrical power systems (the Puerto Rico grid)$2.0B

Revenue & offsets (pay-fors)$20.5B

Tax changes, rescissions and other provisions that RAISE or save money rather than spend it. Not spending — disclosed so the law’s cost is not overstated by ignoring how it was paid for.

  • OFFSET (annual figure, not a total): Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital allotments cut by $8,000,000,000 in EACH of FY2021-FY2025 (about $40,000,000,000 over the five years). A reduction, not spending; excluded from all totals.$8.0B
  • OFFSET: the Federal Reserve banks' aggregate surplus cap is cut from $10,000,000,000 to $7,500,000,000, sweeping the $2,500,000,000 difference to the Treasury. The amount field is the NEW CAP as written in the text, not the size of the offset; excluded from all totals.$7.5B
  • OFFSET: reduction in federal Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital allotments for FY2020$4.0BFY2020
  • OFFSET: Medicaid Improvement Fund zeroed out — $980,000,000 struck and replaced with $0$980.0M

How this was built

Fetched the enrolled XML (bill-stage='Enrolled-Bill') from the keyless GovInfo bulk BILLS collection with python3 requests, decoded as UTF-8, and rendered a faithful text via ElementTree itertext with whitespace normalization (660,870 chars). Walked the XML appropriations structure (subdivision > title > appropriations-major > appropriations-intermediate > appropriations-small) to attach each dollar figure to its exact account heading, enumerated every figure >= $100,000,000, and classified each by its operative verb ('For an additional amount ... $X' = appropriation; 'there is hereby appropriated' / statutory allotment appropriations = direct_spending; 'of the amounts made available under this heading ... $X shall be' = set_aside; 'for the revised security category, $X in new budget authority' = statutory cap = authorization; sections inside the two titles literally headed 'Offsets' = revenue_or_offset). Every quote was sliced programmatically out of that faithful text and re-asserted as an exact substring. 45 of 45 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo enrolled bill text. Full bill text.

Extraction notes (technical)

H.R. 1892 is a shell vehicle: introduced 2017-04-04 by Rep. John B. Larson as the Honoring Hometown Heroes Act (flag at half-staff for first responders, which survives as Division A), then amended into the BIPARTISAN BUDGET ACT OF 2018 and enacted 2018-02-09 as Public Law 115-123. SOURCE CALL: spending_source is 'bill_text' because the law's cash is real '$X for Y' appropriation lines in Division B, subdivision 1 (the Further Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2018 - the ~$89 billion Harvey/Irma/Maria/California-wildfire supplemental). No CBO score was needed for the tracked figures. MECHANISM CALLS (the point of this file): (1) APPROPRIATION, in the pie (24 items, $81.9B): every one reads 'For an additional amount for <account>, $X', appropriated by the subdivision's opening clause 'The following sums in this subdivision are appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018'. Largest: CDBG disaster recovery $28.000B, FEMA Disaster Relief Fund $23.500B, Corps of Engineers Construction $15.055B. (The verifier added five more that the first pass missed: Emergency Conservation Program $400.000M, Operation and Maintenance Navy $267.796M, Fish and Wildlife Service Construction $210.629M, National Park Service Construction $207.600M, Military Construction Navy and Marine Corps $201.636M.) (2) DIRECT SPENDING, in the pie (9 items, $28.4B): mandatory money created by amending permanent statutes - the 4-year CHIP extension's two FY2027 semi-annual allotments ($7.650B each), the Community Health Center Fund ($3.800B FY2018, $4.000B FY2019), the National Health Service Corps ($310M/yr), the Social Impact Partnerships appropriation ($100M, 'there is hereby appropriated'), and the Hurricane Maria Medicaid relief for Puerto Rico ($3.600B, plus a further $1.200B CONDITIONAL on HHS certifying data-reporting and program-integrity steps) and the U.S. Virgin Islands ($106.931M). (3) AUTHORIZATION, disclosed, NOT in the pie ($2.452 TRILLION of figures): the four revised statutory discretionary spending CAPS in Div C Sec. 30101 (FY2018 security $629B / nonsecurity $579B; FY2019 security $647B / nonsecurity $597B). These are the bill's biggest numbers and its headline ('the ~$300 billion cap deal'), but a cap is a CEILING ON FUTURE APPROPRIATIONS - this Act appropriates none of it. The money against those caps was actually provided six weeks later by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (H.R. 1625, P.L. 115-141). Summing the caps into a spending pie would be the single largest error available on this bill. (4) SET-ASIDE, disclosed, NEVER summed again (4 items): carve-outs INSIDE line-items already counted - $12.000B mitigation and $11.000B Hurricane Maria minimums inside the $28.000B CDBG-DR account, $2.000B for enhanced electrical power systems inside that Maria share (the Puerto Rico grid), and $10.425B inside the $15.055B Corps Construction account for Harvey/Irma/Maria states and insular areas. (5) REVENUE/OFFSET, not spending (4 items): the Medicaid DSH allotment cuts ($4.000B FY2020, $8.000B/yr FY2021-2025), the Federal Reserve surplus cap cut from $10.000B to $7.500B, and the Medicaid Improvement Fund's $980M zeroed to $0 - all drawn from sections sitting inside titles the bill itself heads 'Offsets' (Div C Title II and Div E Title XII). NOT LINE-ITEMED HERE: Division D (Revenue Measures - tax extenders) contains no '$X for Y' figures at all, so its cost lives only in the JCT/CBO score and no dollar is claimed for it; likewise Division B subdivision 2 Titles I-II (disaster tax relief) and Division F (agriculture/cotton-dairy). Division B subdivision 3 merely extends the continuing resolution to March 23, 2018 - its rate-for-operations anomalies (e.g. $182,000,000 for the 2020 Decennial Census) are annualized RATES, not budget authority, and are deliberately excluded rather than overstated. appropriated_total ($81,872,300,000) and tracked_total ($110,289,231,000) are FLOORS covering the largest accounts, not the Act's complete account-by-account total; the disaster supplemental alone is commonly scored near $89B and the CHIP/health extenders add more than is itemized here.

How this lands in a state

two layers, in order: reported, shown

Pick a state and this section gives you two different things, and keeps them apart. First, what the government itself reports — obligations Treasury tags to this law, where such a tag exists. Second, the state’s own numbers — the same rows an assessment would be given, with their sources and vintages, so you can check this page against the record behind it. Every state is treated identically.

1. What the government reports

no official per-state breakdown exists for this law

No official source breaks H.R. 1892 down by state, so this page publishes no per-state dollar figure for it. No Disaster Emergency Fund Code maps to this law, so no reported obligation can be traced back to it. Without that tag there is no audit trail from an award to this bill, and any per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived.

Two of the 31 laws tracked on this site can be broken down honestly — the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the American Rescue Plan Act — because Treasury tags their money with a Disaster Emergency Fund Code that maps to one public law and no other. Where no such code exists, a per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived, and this site does not publish modelled numbers.

The route we refuse to take, and why (technical)

USAspending's award SEARCH endpoints accept the same def_codes filter but select AWARDS, not DOLLARS: they return an award's entire obligation if any part of it touched the law's money. That route reported a single Sandia National Laboratories contract as $42.8B of IIJA money in New Mexico against a true DEFC-apportioned $64.5M, and overstated ARPA nationally by about 80%. It is not used here and must not be.

2. The assessment

No assessments were staged into this build. This layer reads precomputed readings out of the page, and this build carries none, so there is nothing here for any state — a gap in the build rather than a fact about H.R. 1892. The two sourced layers either side of it are unaffected: they are the government’s figures and the state’s own, and neither depends on a model.

Ask a question and Claude (an AI model) answers it from this page’s verified record only — the line items, disclosures and CBO estimate shown above. Answers are AI-generated at your request, are not this site’s editorial voice, and will say so when the record doesn’t cover your question. If an answer ever disagrees with a number on the page, the page is right.
