Senate Passes HR 7463 – Short Term CR

This evening the Senate took up HR 7463, the Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024, that was passed earlier today in the House. The Senate passed the bill by a bipartisan vote of 77 to 13. All but one of the ten Senators that did not vote were Republicans. The bill goes to the President who is expected to sign it tomorrow, well before the current spending deadline.
