Bill Summary

A bill to provide for continuing appropriations in the event of a lapse in appropriations under the normal appropriations process, other than for the legislative branch and the Executive Office of the President. This bill provides continuing appropriations to certain federal agencies to prevent a government shutdown if an appropriations bill for the agency has not been enacted before the fiscal year begins and continuing appropriations are not in effect. The bill excludes agencies within or under the legislative branch or the Executive Office of the President, which would continue to be subject to a government shutdown due to a lapse in appropriations.

AI Summary

This bill, the "Stop the Shutdowns Transferring Unnecessary Pain and Inflicting Damage In The coming Years Act," aims to prevent government shutdowns by providing automatic continuing appropriations for federal agencies, excluding those within the legislative branch and the Executive Office of the President. Specifically, the bill amends Chapter 13 of Title 31 of the United States Code to establish an "Automatic Continuing Appropriations" provision. This allows funding to continue at the previous year's rate for any program, project, or activity that is not part of an "excluded account" (i.e., not in the legislative branch or Executive Office of the President) if an appropriations bill for the new fiscal year has not been enacted. The continuing appropriations would remain in effect until the relevant appropriations bill is passed or a new continuing resolution is enacted.
