Sets forth specified prohibitions, limitations, permissions, and mandates with respect to the use of appropriations under this Act. Bars the use of funds appropriated by this Act to: (1) pay for an abortion, or the administrative expenses in connection with any health plan under the Federal employees health benefits program which provides any benefits or coverage for abortions (except where the life of the woman would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term or the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest); (2) implement a proposed rule declaring real estate brokerage to be an activity that is financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity, thereby permitting banks to enter the real estate business as agents and brokers; (3) collect, review, or create a list by any means of any personally identifiable information relating to an individual's access to or use of any Federal Government Internet site; or (4) enter into or renew a contract for a federal employee health plan which includes a provision providing prescription drug coverage, except where the contract also includes a provision for contraceptive coverage. (Prohibits such a health plan, however, from covering abortions or abortion-related services, and from discriminating against an individual on the basis that the individual refuses to prescribe contraceptives because such activities would be contrary to his or her religious beliefs or moral convictions). Provides a 4.1 percent pay raise for all Federal employees. Requires each Federal agency to report annually to Congress on the competitive sourcing (privatizing) activities performed by it during the previous fiscal year.
