Earmarks Not Returning for FY 2020 Appropriations Cycle; House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittee Deadlines Set for FY20 Requests

House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-NY) announced yesterday in a letter sent to her House colleagues that “there is currently not the necessary bipartisan, bicameral agreement to allow the Appropriations Committee to earmark. For that reason, I do not expect Fiscal Year 2020 House spending bills to include Congressionally-directed spending.” So, unfortunately, earmarks will not be returning this year for the FY 2020 Appropriations cycle. However, Chairwoman Lowey goes on to state in her letter that “Over the coming months, Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate must discuss the issue of earmarks in our respective caucuses and conferences to determine member preferences, solicit ideas to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, and when applicable, change rules to permit members to request earmarks.” Senate Appropriators also announced that they do not plan on reviving earmarks for the FY 2020 appropriations cycle, following the lead of the House.

Additionally, the House Appropriations Committee announced subcommittee deadlines for House members to submit FY 2020 Appropriations/Programmatic requests to the Committee . The announced deadlines for the 12 House Appropriations Subcommittees all fall between March 28—April 4, 2019. The announced deadlines for the 12 Senate Appropriations Subcommittees all fall between April 5--26, 2019.
