Where can the full text of H.R.4552 (FY26 THUD) be accessed to read the exact waiver clause?
Executive summary
The authoritative full text of H.R.4552 (the House FY26 THUD appropriations bill) can be read on the Library of Congress Congress.gov bill page for H.R.4552, which hosts the official bill text [1]. Alternative official sources that publish the full committee bill text and accompanying materials are the Senate Appropriations Committee, which has posted the FY26 THUD bill text and related PDFs on its website [2] [3], and the House Appropriations site that provides the House subcommittee bill summary and documents [4].
1. Where to read the House bill’s full text (Congress.gov)
The primary public source for the official House bill text is Congress.gov: the H.R.4552 page on the Library of Congress site contains the bill record and links to the bill text as filed or reported, making it the standard, citable location to read the exact language including any waiver clause proposed in the House measure [1].
2. Where the Senate committee posts its THUD bill text (Senate Appropriations Committee PDFs)
The Senate Appropriations Committee has published the FY26 THUD bill text and accompanying report and amendment packages on its website, including a downloadable PDF titled “fy26_thud_bill_text.pdf,” which is the committee’s public release of the full draft bill language and therefore another authoritative place to read the exact wording of any waiver provision in the Senate draft [2] [3].
3. Where the House Appropriations Committee’s materials live (House Appropriations subcommittee documents)
For the House-originated package and explanatory materials, the House Appropriations Committee and its THUD subcommittee post summaries and bill summaries; the subcommittee’s FY26 THUD bill summary and related documents are available from the House Appropriations site and include the committee-passed version of H.R.4552 for examination [4].
4. How to locate the “exact waiver clause” in those documents
To read the exact waiver clause, open the full bill text PDFs or the bill text page on Congress.gov and use a keyword search for terms such as “waiver,” “notwithstanding,” or the specific statutory section being modified; the Senate committee’s downloadable bill text PDF and the Congress.gov text page are the places that contain the clause verbatim and should be searched directly [2] [1].
5. Important caveats — versions, House vs. Senate, and legislative status
Because appropriations language can differ between the House H.R.4552 text and the Senate THUD draft (S.2465) and because committees post their committee-reported drafts and amendment packages separately, readers must confirm which chamber’s text they are viewing—the House H.R.4552 on Congress.gov or the Senate committee’s THUD bill text PDF—and note that these are committee-level or chamber drafts that may change during floor action or conference [1] [2] [5].
6. Practical next steps and recommendation
For a definitive reading of the exact waiver clause as drafted by the House, consult the H.R.4552 text on Congress.gov first [1]; for the committee/alternative version and context or if interested in the Senate’s parallel language, download and search the FY26 THUD bill text PDF from the Senate Appropriations Committee site [2] [3]; for explanatory summaries and committee rationale, review the House THUD subcommittee materials and the Senate bill summary and report PDFs linked on the committees’ pages [4] [6].
