Bill summary
**Appropriations** are the laws that give the government permission to spend money. Think of it like a budget: even if the government wants to pay for something (like schools, roads, or the military), it isn’t allowed to actually spend a dime until lawmakers pass an "appropriation" law that says, "Yes, you are allowed to use this much money for this specific job."
