Assessments
Delivered. Rep. Madeleine Dean was in federal office and on the House LHHS Appropriations Subcommittee when she filed a FY2026 amendment specifically striking the prohibition on federal funding for supervised drug consumption facilities. The enacted Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, Public Law 119-75, approved February 3, 2026, omitted that rider from Sec. 525, leaving only the sterile needle/syringe restriction. The FY2027 House-reported H.R. 9260 would restore the prohibition, but it had not been enacted; current enacted law still satisfies the promise.
