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 has not been enacted before the beginning of the fiscal year or otherwise expires. The bill provides appropriations at the rate of operations that was provided for the prior fiscal year to continue programs, projects, and activities for which funds were provided in the preceding fiscal year.

AI Summary

This bill, the Ban Government Shutdowns Act, amends Title 31 of the United States Code to provide for automatic continuing resolutions. If any appropriations measure is not enacted before the start of the fiscal year or otherwise expires, this bill would automatically appropriate funds to continue any program, project, or activity that was funded in the previous fiscal year. The appropriations would be at the lower of 100% of the previous year's rate of operations or the annualized rate of operations provided for in the most recently enacted continuing resolution, for a period of 90 days. If the automatic continuing resolution is still in effect at the end of the fiscal year, the funding levels would continue into the next fiscal year. This is intended to prevent government shutdowns by ensuring ongoing funding for government operations even in the absence of new appropriations legislation.
