HR 1105 Status – 02-25-09

The House passed HR 1105, the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009, yesterday by a vote of 245 to 178. This bill was supposed to take up the appropriations for those departments not included in the appropriations bill passed last fall. The DHS appropriations were included in the earlier bill, but I have heard that there were some additional funds for DHS included in this bill. I have not had a chance to scan through this bill looking for DHS monies yet.
