Vote Description
HR 2029 (Roll Call 705) Omnibus Appropriations
This portion of the bill contains a 2,000 plus page Omnibus Appropriation that busts the budget caps by $50 billion and includes major increases for Obama pet programs while doing nothing to prevent the federal funding of Planned Parenthood. The bill also ignores many provisions passed by the House Appropriations Committee, including the restriction of funds for sanctuary cities and placing restrictions on the FCC’s ability to enforce “net neutrality” rules, giving the federal government power to control the Internet. ACU opposes these massive bills that are passed with little discussion and are not allowed any amendments, and opposed this bill. The House passed the bill on December 18, 2015 by a vote of 316-113
