Bill Summary
Making further continuing appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for fiscal year 2019, and for other purposes. This joint resolution provides continuing FY2019 appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the earlier of February 8, 2019, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations legislation. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and ends the partial DHS shutdown that began on December 22, 2018, because the existing CR expired and the FY2019 DHS appropriations bill has not been enacted. The CR also compensates DHS employees furloughed as a result of any lapse in appropriations that began on or about December 22, 2018, and ended upon the enactment of this joint resolution; reimburses or compensates certain states, federal grantees, and furloughed state employees for the lapse in DHS appropriations; and ratifies and approves certain obligations incurred in anticipation of the appropriations made and the authority granted by this joint resolution. Additionally, the CR has the effect of extending through February 8, 2019, several immigration programs and authorities that were extended in prior CRs and expired on December 21, 2018.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, a type of temporary spending bill known as a continuing resolution (CR), provides funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through February 8, 2019, or until a full appropriations bill is passed, thereby ending a partial government shutdown that began in December 2018. It ensures that DHS employees who were furloughed, meaning temporarily unpaid, due to the funding lapse will be compensated for the time they missed. Additionally, the resolution reimburses states and other federal grantees for any state or non-federal funds they used to continue essential government programs during the shutdown, and it also covers the costs of furloughed state employees whose salaries are typically funded by the federal government. Finally, it approves and ratifies any necessary expenses incurred by DHS to maintain essential operations and protect life and property during the funding gap, and extends several immigration programs and authorities that had expired.
