The House Appropriations Committee held a full committee markup of the "FY2027 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Act," and voted 34–28 yesterday to favorably report the bill. The bill sets total funding for the three departments at $201.8 billion, representing a 9 percent decrease from FY 26 enacted level. The Department of Education would receive $70.7 billion, a 10 percent reduction. HHS would receive $111.9 billion, a 4 percent reduction. A manager's amendment and a Republican en bloc amendment package were both adopted by voice vote. The manager’s amendment included language on designating advanced nursing programs as professional degree programs and allowing them to qualify for the higher graduate student loan caps stemming from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
