Public Law 119-86 was approved April 30, 2026. The law appropriated FY2026 DHS funds and included $2,218,634,000 for CISA operations and support. It also treated the continuing-appropriations period as including the lapse that began around February 14, 2026, and made personnel pay, allowances, and benefits available for required payments.

GovInfo lists S. 4074, the Fund CISA Personnel Act of 2026, sponsored by Gary C. Peters. The full title is to make continuing appropriations for essential CISA pay and operations in the event of a federal government shutdown. The last listed action on March 12, 2026 was introduction, reading twice, and referral to the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
Assessments
The promised federal outcome was substantially achieved during Peters's same Senate term: Public Law 119-86 funded CISA operations and support and retroactively covered the shutdown lapse period for required personnel pay, allowances, benefits, and essential obligations. Peters also introduced S. 4074, a bill directly matching the promise, though it did not advance beyond referral and the final delivery came through broader DHS appropriations legislation.
