The House Appropriations Committee page says the FY27 bill text and reports are the current, up-to-date materials. For Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies, it lists H.R. 9170 as the filed bill and H. Rept. 119-686 as the filed bill report.

As of the committee’s FY2027 materials, the relevant THUD appropriations vehicle was a filed/reported House bill, not an enacted appropriation.

H.R. 9170 was reported from the House Appropriations Committee on June 5, 2026, as a bill making appropriations for Transportation-HUD for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027. The bill includes a section titled “Northeast Corridor Grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation.”

There was a House-reported FY2027 THUD bill addressing Amtrak Northeast Corridor grants, but this source is not an enacted law and therefore does not establish that at least $1.4 billion was provided.

The committee announced that House Republican appropriators had reported all 12 Fiscal Year 2027 bills through subcommittees and the full committee. The page characterizes the FY27 process as hearings, oversight, markups, debate, and floor action.

The FY2027 appropriations process was still in legislative stages by late June 2026; committee reporting alone is not final delivery of funding.

The enacted FY2026 consolidated appropriations bill provided $850,000,000 for “Northeast Corridor Grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation” for activities associated with the Northeast Corridor.

The prior fiscal year’s enacted NEC grant level was $850 million, below the $1.4 billion FY2027 promise threshold and not FY2027 funding.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Seth Moulton as sponsor of H.R. 7600, introduced March 8, 2024. The latest action was referral to the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials, and the bill status remained “Introduced.”

Moulton introduced concrete rail legislation, showing effort on passenger/high-speed rail policy, but it did not enact FY2027 Amtrak Northeast Corridor appropriations.

Moulton’s official House site identifies him as serving Massachusetts’ Sixth District and sitting on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. A June 23, 2026 item says he secured over $12.1 million in community project funding in the initial markup of FY2027 appropriations legislation.

Moulton was in federal office and active in FY2027 appropriations activity, but this record concerns district community project funding, not a $1.4 billion Amtrak Northeast Corridor appropriation.
