Provides temporary funding for the federal government in fiscal year 2027.
The problem
The federal government needs funding to operate when regular appropriations bills are not passed by the fiscal year deadline.
The proposal
This continuing resolution would authorize temporary spending for federal agencies and programs through a future date to be determined.
The impact
All federal agencies and programs, federal employees, and citizens receiving federal services would continue operations under extended funding.
A continuing resolution allows federal agencies to keep operating and paying employees when regular budget bills are delayed. This prevents service disruptions and keeps critical functions running smoothly.
Government programs and services continue without interruption, protecting people who depend on federal support. Federal workers continue receiving paychecks during funding negotiations.
A continuing resolution gives Congress more time to debate and pass regular budget bills without forced deadline pressure. This can lead to more carefully considered spending decisions.
Avoiding a government shutdown prevents market uncertainty and economic disruption. Predictable government operations help businesses and investors plan confidently.
Continuing resolutions postpone needed spending discussions rather than resolve them. Congress avoids making difficult choices about which programs to fund or cut.
Continuing resolutions typically freeze spending at previous year levels, which may not match current needs or inflation. Some programs cannot adjust funding to address new priorities.
Federal agencies cannot plan long-term projects or make strategic decisions without knowing their actual budget. This creates inefficiency and limits government responsiveness to change.
Relying on continuing resolutions repeatedly avoids establishing permanent budgets. This creates recurring crises and governmental instability rather than proper planning.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
