Yesterday with both the House and Senate back in Washington
after a real 2-day weekend break, there were 28 bills introduced. Of those, one
may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:
HJ
Res 123 Making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2018, and
for other purposes. Rep. Frelinghuysen, Rodney P. [R-NJ-11]
The official
version of this continuing resolution (CR) is currently available. It would
extend the current continuing resolution (PL
115-56) from December 8th, 2017 to December 22nd,
2017. It also addresses the lack of funding for the Children’s Health Insurance
Program (CHIP) for the first quarter of FY 2018.
The House Rules Committee will meet this afternoon to formulate
the rule to consider this bill. It will almost certainly be a closed rule with
limited debate and no floor amendments. The bill will be considered on
Wednesday to allow the Senate time to take up the bill before the Friday current
Friday deadline.
There is a news
report that the expiration date on this CR may be changed to December 30th.
That change would be addressed in today’s Rules Committee Hearing.
