Bill Summary

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 60-day period, the bill provides continuing appropriations at 95% of the rate for the preceding year to continue programs, projects, and activities for which funds were provided in the preceding fiscal year. The bill reduces the continuing appropriations by 2% after the first 60-day period and by an additional 2% for each subsequent 60-day period until the applicable appropriations legislation is enacted.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the Government Shutdown Prevention Act, amends U.S. Code Title 31 to provide for automatic continuing appropriations in the event that Congress does not enact regular appropriations bills before the start of a new fiscal year. If appropriations measures are not enacted, the bill would automatically provide continuing funding at 95% of the previous year's level for the first 60 days, reducing that amount by 2% every subsequent 60-day period until new appropriations are passed. This is intended to prevent government shutdowns by ensuring ongoing funding for government programs, projects, and activities even in the absence of completed appropriations legislation.
