H.J.Res. 31 — Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019
Official title: Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes.
What the tracked text contains
Of the money itself: $281.9B across 29 tracked line-items — income security ($137.3B, 49%), other ($64.1B, 23%) and transportation ($25.8B, 9%) lead; 4 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $73,476,921,000 for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP / food stamps). Beyond the cash, the text also sets $16.8M of authorizations (a ceiling on future spending), $64.5B of trust-fund obligation limits, $6.5B of set-asides (already counted above), $1.00T of loan-guarantee ceilings and $1.2B of revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.

Where the money goes
$281.9B across 29 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.J.Res. 31, sized by its share of the $281.9B 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.
1 of the 7 blocks is too small to carry a label without overprinting itself, so it is 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 scaleA law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.J.Res. 31 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.
What CBO says it does to the deficit
verified estimate, quoted with its basisNo 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.
The Highway Trust Fund
The federal government's dedicated road-and-transit account. Money flows in from federal taxes on gasoline and diesel, and flows out to state highway and transit projects. Congress promises states money from it years in advance — so the fund's health depends on fuel-tax receipts keeping up with the promises, and for years they haven't. When the gap gets big enough, Congress moves ordinary Treasury money in to cover it.
Contract authority
A promise now, cash later. Congress lets highway agencies sign binding commitments against future trust-fund money before any cash is in hand — useful because a bridge takes years to build. The commitments are real spending eventually, but the figure here is permission to commit, so it is disclosed beside the total rather than counted as money out the door.
Obligation limitation
The annual brake on those promises. States hold years of trust-fund commitments, and each year's spending bill caps how much of them may turn into actual signed spending that year. It is real money moving, but the number is a limit on older promises — not new money — so adding it to the total would double-count.
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.
Loan-guarantee ceiling
The government co-signing loans, not spending money. The figure caps how much new lending the government may promise to stand behind; cash leaves the Treasury only if borrowers default. These ceilings can dwarf a bill's actual spending — which is exactly why they are shown separately and never summed into it.
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.
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.
SNAP (food stamps)
Monthly grocery money on a debit card for low-income households. It is an entitlement: everyone who qualifies and applies receives it, and the appropriation has to cover whoever shows up — so the figure moves with the economy, not with a policy choice in this bill.
Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)
Rent help for low-income tenants: the household pays roughly a third of its income, the voucher covers the rest up to a local cap. Unlike SNAP it is not an entitlement — when the year's money runs out, waiting lists grow. That is why this annual number decides how many families are actually helped.

“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.
Did not vote (1): Mike Quigley (D-IL).
A member is recorded as not voting for many ordinary reasons — illness, a death in the family, official travel, or a paired vote arranged with a colleague on the other side. The roll call gives no reason, so neither does this page, and nothing here is counted against anyone’s grade. This site tracks a small number of major bills, so a single absence is a large share of what is shown here and a very small share of the hundreds of votes a member actually casts.
These tallies count the 310 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.
Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending) — $16.8M
“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.
- Kennedy Center capital projects — AUTHORIZATION ONLY: a ceiling on future appropriations, not money provided by this Act$16.8M
Trust-fund obligation limits — $64.5B
Ceilings on Highway Trust Fund contract authority. Real spending, but the figure is a limit and the underlying authority is set in the surface-transportation law, not this bill — so it is disclosed here, not summed into the spending pie.
- Ceiling on FY2019 obligations for Federal-aid highway and highway-safety construction. The underlying contract authority is set by the FAST Act, not by this bill.$45.3B
- Ceiling on FY2019 obligations for transit formula, bus and state-of-good-repair grants (Mass Transit Account contract authority)$9.9B
- GSA Federal Buildings Fund — aggregate LIMITATION on obligations against the fund's own rent revenue, not new budget authority$9.3B
Set-asides (already counted above) — $6.5B
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.
- Foreign Military Financing grants for Israel, disbursed within 30 days of enactment. CARVE-OUT within the $5,962,241,000 FMF account; not summed again.$3.3B
- Assistance for Jordan, including direct budget support for the Government of Jordan. CARVE-OUT from amounts already appropriated under Titles III and IV; not summed again.$1.5B
- Construction of primary pedestrian border fencing in the Rio Grande Valley Sector — the border-barrier money that ended the 35-day government shutdown. CARVE-OUT within the $2,515,878,000 CBP construction account; not summed again.$1.4B
- Calexico West Land Port of Entry construction. CARVE-OUT within the GSA Federal Buildings Fund construction and acquisition amount; not summed again.$191.0M
- Abandoned mine land economic-revitalization grants split equally among the 3 Appalachian States with the greatest unfunded need. CARVE-OUT within the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund additional amount; not summed again.$75.0M
- Grants to the State of Alaska for rural and Alaska Native drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. CARVE-OUT within the $3,605,041,000 STAG account; not summed again.$25.0M
Loan-guarantee ceilings — $1.00T
Caps on NEW loan or mortgage-backed-security guarantee commitments. No cash is spent — the government only backstops private lending — so these are excluded from the pie entirely.
- Ginnie Mae — ceiling on NEW mortgage-backed-securities guarantee commitments. No cash is spent.$550.0B
- FHA Mutual Mortgage Insurance — ceiling on NEW single-family loan guarantee commitments. No cash is spent.$400.0B
- Ceiling on FY2019 commitments for SBA 7(a) general business loan GUARANTEES — no cash outlay$30.0B
- Ceiling on gross obligations for UNSUBSIDIZED GUARANTEED rural single-family housing loans — a loan level, not cash$24.0B
Revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — $1.2B
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.
- Permanent rescission of unobligated balances from the DOJ Assets Forfeiture Fund — money taken back, not spent$674.0M
- Rescission of unobligated WIC balances — money taken back, not spent$500.0M

How this was built
Fetched the enrolled (ENR) XML from GovInfo bulk BILLS with python3 requests, then rebuilt a faithful document-order text stream with ElementTree (text+tail concatenation, no tag-stripping) while recording the byte offset of every division / title / appropriations-intermediate / appropriations-small / section header; regex-scanned all 1,904 dollar figures, ranked them within each division, read the operative verb around each one to assign a funding mechanism by hand, and machine-cut every citation quote as a <=15-word verbatim substring of that same stream, re-asserted as an exact substring before writing. 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.J.Res. 31 is the seven-bill omnibus that ENDED THE 35-DAY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, signed 2019-02-15 as Public Law 116-6. SPENDING SOURCE IS THE BILL TEXT, not a CBO score: this is a pure appropriations act whose operative verbs are 'For necessary expenses ... $X' and 'There is appropriated', so every dollar is a concrete account line in the enrolled text. AUTHORIZATION vs APPROPRIATION (the highest-risk classification error): the phrase 'authorized to be appropriated' appears 11 times in the entire enrolled text (VERIFIER CORRECTION: the first pass said 8; the true count is 11, the other 9 being dollar-free Federal-aid highway cross-references) and only TWICE with a dollar figure - both in Division E, Title IV, Sec. 425, the John F. Kennedy Center reauthorization ($24,490,000 for operations and $16,800,000 for capital projects, each amending 20 U.S.C. 76r). The $16,800,000 is included as the single 'authorization' line-item to show the distinction. Everything else in this Act is an appropriation, an obligation limitation, a loan-guarantee ceiling, a carve-out, or a rescission. Note that $24,490,000 occurs TWICE in the text - once as a Division E APPROPRIATION for Kennedy Center operations and once inside that Division E AUTHORIZATION - which is precisely why every citation here carries the division/title/account location as well as the verbatim quote. MECHANISMS THAT MUST NOT BE SUMMED INTO THE PIE. (1) loan_guarantee_ceiling: Ginnie Mae $550,000,000,000 and FHA Mutual Mortgage Insurance $400,000,000,000 are caps on NEW guarantee commitments and spend no cash; the SBA 7(a) $30,000,000,000 and the USDA unsubsidized rural-housing $24,000,000,000 are loan levels, not budget authority. Naively adding the 45 tracked line-items together gives $1,358,077,371,030, but $1,004,000,000,000 of that is those four ceilings, which move no money at all - so the honest tracked appropriations figure is $281,902,513,000, roughly a fifth of the naive sum. This is the single biggest failure mode in reading an appropriations act. (2) obligation_limitation: the $45,268,596,000 Federal-aid Highways figure is a CEILING on obligating Highway Trust Fund contract authority created by the FAST Act, not by this bill. The same account also carries a separate $46,007,596,000 LIQUIDATING cash appropriation ('For the payment of obligations incurred in carrying out Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs'), deliberately EXCLUDED here because listing both would double-count the identical highway program. Likewise the transit $9,939,380,030 limitation sits atop $9,900,000,000 of Mass Transit Account contract authority in the same account; only the limitation is listed. The GSA Federal Buildings Fund $9,285,082,000 is a 'limitation on availability of revenue' against the fund's own rent collections, not new budget authority. (3) set_aside: six carve-outs are listed because they are the place-specific money-quotes readers care about - Rio Grande Valley Sector border fencing $1,375,000,000 (within CBP Procurement, Construction and Improvements); Israel Foreign Military Financing $3,300,000,000 (within the $5,962,241,000 FMF account); Jordan $1,525,000,000 (from amounts already appropriated under Titles III and IV); Calexico West Land Port of Entry, California $191,000,000 (within the GSA Federal Buildings Fund construction amount); State of Alaska drinking/wastewater $25,000,000 (within EPA State and Tribal Assistance Grants); and $75,000,000 split among the 3 neediest Appalachian States (within the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund additional amount). Each is a slice of a parent amount, so each is DISCLOSED and never summed into the pie. 'set_aside' is the methodology's own taxonomy value (Part 2 table); it is used here in preference to mislabelling these as appropriations, which would double-count. (4) revenue_or_offset: the $500,000,000 WIC rescission and the permanent $674,000,000 DOJ Assets Forfeiture Fund rescission (Division C, Sec. 523(b)(6)) take money back rather than spending it; both are excluded from the appropriations total. Several smaller rescissions in the same section are not itemised here. HUD TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE is listed at the $18,598,000,000 figure available 1 Oct 2018; the same account provides a further $4,000,000,000 advance available 1 Oct 2019, so the account total is larger than the tracked figure - a deliberate understatement, consistent with the pie being a floor. DIVISION COVERAGE: line-items are drawn from all seven appropriations divisions (A through G). Division H (extensions, technical corrections and other matters) contains exactly ONE dollar figure in the whole division - a $30,000,000 cap on inter-account transfers in Sec. 204 - and therefore contributes no spending line-item. EARMARK DETAIL: project-level detail behind account totals lives in the accompanying joint explanatory statement, a separate document not parsed here. THIS IS NOT THE BILL'S COMPLETE TOTAL: 1,904 dollar figures appear in the enrolled text. The 45 largest and most illustrative are tracked, so $281,902,513,000 is a FLOOR on this Act's real discretionary spending, not a claim about its full size.
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.J.Res. 31 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.J.Res. 31. 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.
