Bill Summary
To amend title 31, United States Code, to provide for automatic continuing resolutions for the Department of Veterans Affairs. This bill provides continuing appropriations to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) if an appropriations bill for a VA account has not been enacted before a fiscal year begins or a joint resolution making continuing appropriations for the account is not in effect. 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 provides for automatic continuing appropriations to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) if an appropriations bill has not been enacted before the start of a fiscal year. Specifically, the bill amends Title 31 of the United States Code to include a new section that appropriates necessary funds to continue any VA program, project, or activity that was funded in the previous fiscal year. The funding level is set at 100% of the prior year's rate of operations, and these continuing appropriations remain in effect until a regular appropriations bill or a continuing resolution is enacted for that fiscal year. This ensures that critical VA services and programs can continue uninterrupted even in the absence of a new appropriations law.
