H.R. 6157 — Defense and Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 115-245)
Official title: Department of Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019
What the tracked text contains
Of the money itself: $1.47T across 38 tracked line-items — health ($799.9B, 54%), defense ($526.5B, 36%) and income security ($76.1B, 5%) lead; 1 smaller category carries the rest. The largest single line: $378,343,800,000 for General-fund payment to the Medicare Hospital Insurance and Supplementary Medical Insurance trust funds. Beyond the cash, the text also sets $10.2B of set-asides (already counted above) and $2.3B of revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it. The dated money sits in fiscal 2020 — 10% of tracked dollars carry a year in the text.

Where the money goes
$1.47T across 38 tracked items · compare against another law →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 wordsArea is dollars. Each block is one category of tracked spending in H.R. 6157, sized by its share of the $1.47T 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.

What’s in this bill
every mechanism we could extract, at one scaleA law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 6157 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.
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.

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.
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.
Advance appropriation
Money approved now for a future year. Used above all for veterans' benefits and care, so that a government shutdown or a late budget can never interrupt disability checks or hospital operations — the money for next year is already law.
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
fiscal years the tracked line-items carry2 of 38 tracked line-items carry a fiscal year in their own quoted text — 10% 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 258 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.
Set-asides (already counted above) — $10.2B
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.
- Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy — the program line the enacted text calls “DDG–51 Destroyer”. (“Arleigh Burke class” is the common name for that hull designation; the Act itself does not use it, and it is written here as a gloss, not as a quotation.)$5.2B
- Virginia class attack submarine construction (named program line inside SCN)$4.3B
- Israeli Cooperative Programs (missile defense co-operation) — carve-out of Procurement and RDT&E, Defense-Wide$500.0M
- Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system for the Government of Israel$70.0M
- Civil Air Patrol Corporation — operations, aircraft and vehicle procurement (carve-out of Air Force accounts)$46.1M
Revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — $2.3B
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.
- Rescission of unobligated CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) allotment balances$2.1B

How this was built
Fetched the enrolled (ENR) XML from GovInfo bulk BILLS with python requests, walked the division -> title -> appropriations-major/intermediate/small structure in document order to attach every dollar paragraph to its account heading, then hand-selected the largest and most illustrative accounts; each quote is a <=15-word window cut from a faithful ElementTree itertext() extraction of the same XML with whitespace collapsed, and each dollar string was re-located as an exact substring of the raw fetched XML. 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)
PURE APPROPRIATIONS ACT — the phrase 'authorized to be appropriated' appears ZERO times in the enrolled text, so NOTHING in this law is an authorization; every extracted figure is real budget authority, a carve-out of it, or a rescission. Section 4 ('Statement of appropriations') opens the operative text with 'The following sums in this Act are appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.' MECHANISMS PRESENT: (1) appropriation — 38 items; (2) set_aside — 5 items that are carve-outs WITHIN a parent line already counted, and are therefore disclosed but never summed into the pie: DDG-51 Destroyer ($5,249,837,000) and Virginia Class Submarine ($4,340,676,000) are named program lines inside the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy account total of $24,150,087,000 ('In all:'); the $500,000,000 for Israeli Cooperative Programs (Sec. 8070) is carved out of Procurement, Defense-Wide and RDT&E, Defense-Wide; the $70,000,000 for Iron Dome is carved out of that $500,000,000; the $46,100,000 for the Civil Air Patrol Corporation (Sec. 8023) is carved out of Air Force O&M and procurement accounts. (3) revenue_or_offset — 2 rescissions that cancel budget authority rather than spend it ($250,000,000 Foreign Currency Fluctuations, Defense, Sec. 8076; $2,061,000,000 of unobligated CHIP allotments, Sec. 527). Other rescissions in the Act that were not extracted as line-items: $600,000,000 Pell/Student Financial Assistance (Sec. 310), $400,000,000 HHS Nonrecurring Expenses Fund (Sec. 228), $150,000,000 National Service Trust (Sec. 526), $53,000,000 Training and Employment Services (Sec. 109), $8,250,000 immigration examinations fee account (Sec. 118). WHY THE TRACKED TOTAL EXCEEDS THE $854.6B 'DISCRETIONARY' HEADLINE: this bill carries three very large APPROPRIATED-ENTITLEMENT (mandatory) accounts that the discretionary headline excludes — Payments to the Health Care Trust Funds ($378,343,800,000), Grants to States for Medicaid ($276,236,212,000) and the Medicaid advance appropriation for the first quarter of FY2020 ($137,931,797,000). They are tagged 'appropriation' because the operative verb in THIS Act appropriates them ('The following sums in this Act are appropriated'); they are not new mandatory spending the law creates, so they are not tagged direct_spending. The Medicaid Q1-FY2020 advance is a SEPARATE paragraph, not a subset of the FY2019 Medicaid grant, so counting both is not double-counting. A parallel FY2020 Q1 advance of $2,800,000,000 for foster care was NOT extracted. DIVISION C (Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019) funds the rest of the government at prior-year rates using 'such sums as may be necessary' — it contains NO headline dollar total in the operative text, only small anomaly adjustments ('at a rate for operations of $X'), so no line-item was extracted from it; its cost lives in the CBO score, not the bill text. These are the largest and most illustrative line-items, not every dollar in the Act — the tracked total is a FLOOR. Per-project detail behind account totals lives in the accompanying conference report (H. Rept. 115-952), a separate document not parsed here. CURATOR-NOTE DISCIPLINE: an independent check compared every capitalised phrase in the purpose/recipient fields against the enacted text. One gloss named a ship class (“Arleigh Burke”) that the Act never uses — the program line it funds is written “DDG–51 Destroyer” — and is now marked as a gloss rather than reading as the text's own words. The same check on the FY2026 NDAA in this batch found eleven invented project descriptions, which is why it is run on every file: a dollar-string check cannot see a fabricated description sitting beside a correct figure.
How this lands in a state
two layers, in order: reported, shownPick 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 lawNo official source breaks H.R. 6157 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
nothing staged into this buildNo 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. 6157. 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.
3. The state’s own numbers
the rows the assessment was givenChoose a state above to see the measured profile the assessment reads from — its industry mix, its concentrations, and its energy consumption, each with its source and vintage.
