The Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2015 provides appropriations for FY2015 for agencies responsible for regulating the financial, telecommunications, and consumer products industries; collecting taxes and assisting taxpayers; managing federal buildings; overseeing the federal workforce; and operating the Executive Office of the President, the judiciary, federal buildings, and the District of Columbia. The bill increases funding above FY2014 levels for the federal judiciary and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The bill decreases funding below FY2014 levels for the Department of the Treasury, including decreases for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the District of Columbia, the General Services Administration (GSA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Economics and Public Finance Topic assigned by the Congressional Research Service. CRS gives each bill one topic, based on the bill as introduced. This one carries 130 subject terms, so it spans well beyond that single label.
