Bill Summary

Making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2019, and for other purposes. This joint resolution provides continuing FY2019 appropriations to several federal agencies through the earlier of February 22, 2019, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations legislation. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a partial government shutdown after the existing CR expires on February 15, 2019, because seven of the remaining FY2019 appropriations bills have not been enacted. (Five of the FY2019 appropriations bills were enacted last year, including the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2019; the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019; the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019; the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2019; and the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019.) Additionally, the CR has the effect of extending through February 22, 2019, several authorities and programs that were extended in prior CRs, including the Violence Against Women Act, the authority for the Environmental Protection Agency to collect and spend certain fees related to pesticides, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, and several authorities related to immigration.

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution, known as a continuing resolution (CR), extends government funding for several federal agencies through February 22, 2019, or until new appropriations legislation is enacted, whichever comes first, to prevent a partial government shutdown that would have occurred after the previous funding extension expired on February 15, 2019, because seven of the twelve required annual spending bills for fiscal year 2019 had not yet been passed into law. In addition to funding these agencies, the CR also extends important programs and authorities through the same date, including the Violence Against Women Act, the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to collect and use certain pesticide fees, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, and various immigration-related authorities.
