Current FY27 bill text and reports list Transportation-HUD Filed Bill H.R. 9170 and Filed Bill Report 119-686.

The House Appropriations page identifies H.R. 9170 and H. Rept. 119-686 as the current FY2027 Transportation-HUD bill materials; those materials do not include the promised $1.5 billion.

The bill provides a total discretionary allocation of $92.224 billion, below the Fiscal Year 2026 enacted level.

The official release shows the FY2027 House THUD bill was released May 20, 2026 and was part of an overall reduction from FY2026; the later report specifies $0 for the Federal-State Partnership program.

Sponsor: Rep. Moulton; status Introduced.

Moulton introduced rail funding legislation in the prior Congress, showing concrete action on passenger rail policy, but it was not enacted and did not itself appropriate $1.5 billion for FY2027 Federal-State Partnership grants.

The bill authorized $35,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2024 through 2028 for high-speed rail corridor development.

The bill text shows Moulton proposed large high-speed rail authorizations, which is related rail effort but not delivery of the specific FY2027 Federal-State Partnership appropriation promise.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

The promise has not been delivered as of the current FY2027 House Transportation-HUD materials: the House report recommends no new Federal-State Partnership funding, far below the promised $1.5 billion. However, FY2027 appropriations are not final yet, so the outcome should not be scored as a final failure. Moulton has taken related passenger-rail legislative action through his American High-Speed Rail Act, but that did not itself enact the specific FY2027 Federal-State Partnership appropriation.
