Bill > S105

This bill, the Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2021, aims to amend Title 31 of the United States Code to provide for automatic continuing appropriations. Specifically, the bill outlines that if any appropriations measure for a fiscal year is not enacted before the beginning of that fiscal year, or a continuing resolution is not in place, then the necessary funds will be appropriated to continue any program, project, or activity that was funded in the previous fiscal year. The funding level would start at 99% of the previous year's rate and decrease by 1 percentage point every 90 days. This would help prevent government shutdowns by ensuring continued funding until new appropriations are enacted.
