Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 31, United States Code, to provide for automatic continuing resolutions. 1

AI Summary

This bill, the End Government Shutdowns Act, would amend the United States Code to provide for automatic continuing appropriations. Specifically, it would establish a new section in the law that would automatically continue funding for government programs and activities at the previous year's levels if an appropriations bill is not enacted by the start of the fiscal year. This would prevent government shutdowns by ensuring continued funding until a new appropriations bill is passed. The bill includes provisions to maintain program levels, limit the rate of operations, and coordinate the timing of budget sequestration reporting with the availability of continuing appropriations.
