Department of Homeland Security: Fy2015 Appropriations (Crs Reports) Congressional Research Service R43796 edition

This report analyzes the FY2015 appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). While this report makes note of many budgetary resources provided to DHS, its primary focus is on funding approved by Congress through the appropriations process. The Administration requested $38.332 billion in adjusted net discretionary budget authority for DHS for FY2015, as part of an overall budget of $60.919 billion (including fees, trust funds, and other funding that is not appropriated or does not score against the budget caps). The request amounted to a $0.938 billion, or 2.4%, decrease from the $39.270 billion enacted for FY2014 through the consolidated appropriations act (P. L. 112-74).
