H.R. 7147

In plain English

This bill would end the partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown that began on February 14, 2026. It would fund most DHS agencies and programs at their 2025 levels until May 22, 2026, or until a full-year 2026 DHS funding law takes effect, whichever comes first. It would also require certain funds to cover back pay for federal employees affected by a shutdown, as required by current law. The bill would approve certain financial commitments made during a shutdown, including those needed to protect life and property or shut down government operations in an orderly way.

The connection table

Organizations that lobbied this bill, and money each gave South Carolina's delegates this cycle: its PAC's contributions (FEC) plus its lobbyists' reported contributions and event payments (LD‑203, group events excluded). Exact name matches only. An empty cell means no matching money was found. Under each name is that delegate’s final vote on the bill (passage or last substantive vote). Delegates who didn’t vote on it, for example because they weren’t serving, are grayed out and left out of the Total column.
