This bill prioritizes agencies and programs that protect national security, maintain the integrity of our financial markets, invigorate small business growth, and maintain a fair and efficient judicial system. BILL HIGHLIGHTS o. The bill provides $13.079 billion for the Treasury Department, which is $20 million more than the enacted level, including: <ul><ul><li>$175.751 million for Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, which combats terrorism financing and administers economic and trade sanctions through its Office of Foreign Assets Control. This represents a $6 million increase.</li></ul></ul> <ul><ul><li>$11.51 billion for the Internal Revenue Service, which is equal to the enacted level.</li></ul></ul> o. The bill rejects proposals to transfer the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) and Drug-Free Communities (DFC) programs out of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).
