CUTS Act

HR 1654, the CUTS Act, redirects unobligated pandemic relief and infrastructure funds to other federal spending priorities. It rescinds leftover money from COVID-19 relief acts (including the CARES Act and American Rescue Plan) and specific infrastructure programs like the Education Stabilization Fund and transportation initiatives. The rescinded funds are limited to the total amount allocated for Israel, Ukraine, and Indo-Pacific security supplements. This bill reallocates existing unspent federal funds without creating new programs or affecting current beneficiaries.
