Summary:
The House and the Senate have begun their consideration of annual appropriations for
FY2017.1 Of the 12 bills that are used to consider these appropriations, the Departments
of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS)
appropriations bill is one of the largest and most controversial. When taking into account both
mandatory and discretionary funding,2
the bill typically contains over $800 billion in
appropriations each fiscal year. The Senate Appropriations Committee reported their version of
the bill on June 9, 2016 (S. 3040); legislative action in the House Appropriations Committee has
not yet occurred as of the date of this report.
This report provides a brief summary of the general scope of the LHHS appropriations bill,
congressional action with regard to the FY2017 bill, key issues and controversial topics that have
previously arisen for the bill, and a list of additional resources.
