Bill Summary
A bill to amend title 31, United States Code, to provide for automatic continuing resolutions. This bill provides continuing appropriations to prevent a government shutdown if any appropriations measure for a fiscal year has not been enacted before the fiscal year begins or a joint resolution making continuing appropriations is not in effect. For an initial 120-day period, the bill provides appropriations to continue programs, projects, and activities for which funds were provided in the preceding fiscal year. The bill reduces the continuing appropriations by 1% after the first 120-day period and by an additional 1% for each subsequent 90-day period until the applicable appropriations legislation is enacted.
AI Summary
This bill, the End Government Shutdowns Act, amends Title 31 of the United States Code to provide for automatic continuing appropriations to prevent government shutdowns. If any appropriations measure for a fiscal year is not enacted before the fiscal year begins or a continuing resolution is not in effect, this bill would automatically appropriate funds to continue programs and activities from the previous fiscal year. The continuing appropriations would initially be set at 100% of the previous year's level, but would be reduced by 1% after the first 120 days and an additional 1% for each subsequent 90-day period until the applicable appropriations legislation is enacted. This aims to incentivize Congress to pass appropriations bills in a timely manner while still preventing a government shutdown in the meantime.
