Roll Call 9 was the motion to report the FY2027 Interior bill to the House; it was adopted 35-27, with Mr. Moolenaar voting yea.
Assessments
Moolenaar materially advanced appropriations language in the FY2027 Interior bill by voting in committee to report a bill recommending funding for both BIA Public Safety and Justice and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Initiative. However, the evidence shows committee-reported recommended funding, not enacted appropriations, so the promised funding increase was not fully delivered as of 2026-09-02.
