Bill Summary

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, titled the "Stop the Shutdowns Transferring Unnecessary Pain and Inflicting Damage In The coming Years Act," aims to provide continuing appropriations to certain federal agencies to prevent a government shutdown if an appropriations bill has not been enacted before the fiscal year begins. The key provisions are: 1) Automatic continuing appropriations will be provided for programs, projects, or activities that are not funded through the legislative branch or the Executive Office of the President, if they were funded the previous fiscal year. 2) The rate for these continuing appropriations will be based on the previous fiscal year's funding, with potential adjustments for GDP growth. 3) The continuing appropriations will be available from the first day of a lapse in appropriations until a new appropriations law is enacted. This is intended to avoid the disruption and harm caused by government shutdowns.
