The bill increases discretionary funding compared to FY2017 levels. It also includes provisions that affect polices in areas such as: implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, abortion, human embryo research, eligibility for Pell grants, collective bargaining, and needle exchange programs.
