Today the Senate and the House sequentially took up HR 2872, the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024. Both houses passed the bill in a substantially bipartisan vote, sending the continuing resolution to the President. The President is expected to sign the bill for the current CR runs out at midnight Friday.
Moving Forward
The hard part still remains, crafting spending bills to
complete the funding of the federal government for the remainder of FY 2024.
With this CR in place the House and Senate have until March 1st, to get the
first four spending bills completed and to the President. Those first four
bills (either individually or in a mini-bus) are
• Agriculture, Rural
Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies,
• Commerce, Justice,
Science, and Related Agencies,
• Department of Defense, and
• Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies.
The eight remaining spending bills need to be to the White House
by March 8th, 2024.
