What this bill does
H.R. 9624, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027, would authorize federal funding for fiscal year 2027 for the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the U.S. government. The specific dollar amounts for most intelligence activities are contained in a classified schedule attached to the bill, which is not made public but is shared with the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and the President. The bill separately sets public dollar figures for two accounts: $591 million for the Director of National Intelligence's Intelligence Community Management Account, and $514 million for the CIA Retirement and Disability Fund.
The bill primarily affects agencies within the U.S. intelligence community, including their budgets, staffing costs, and management operations. It includes provisions stating that the funding authorization does not itself grant authority to conduct intelligence activities beyond what is already permitted under the Constitution or existing law, and allows authorized funds for employee salaries and benefits to be increased if separately required by other laws governing federal compensation.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Eric “Rick” Crawford on July 9, 2026, referred to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and was ordered to be reported, as amended, by voice vote on July 20, 2026. It would next need to be considered by the full House, and, if passed, by the Senate, before being sent to the President.
