This bill, the Preventing Future Shutdowns Act of 2019, amends Title 31 of the United States Code to provide for continuing appropriations in the absence of regular appropriations. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. If a regular appropriation bill for a fiscal year does not become law before the start of that fiscal year, or a continuing resolution is not in effect, the bill appropriates necessary funds to continue any program, project, or activity that was funded in the preceding fiscal year. 2. The rate of operations for non-defense discretionary accounts will be 95% of the previous year's level, while defense discretionary accounts will be funded at 100% of the previous year's level. 3. The continuing appropriations will be available from the first day of the lapse in appropriations until the regular appropriation bill or a continuing resolution becomes law. 4. The continuing appropriations will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the previous year's appropriations. 5. The bill aims to prevent future government shutdowns by ensuring the continued funding of government operations in the absence of new appropriations legislation.
