Bill > HR5543

This bill, the Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2023, amends Title 31 of the United States Code to provide for automatic continuing resolutions. The key provision is that if an appropriations act for a fiscal year has not been enacted and continuing appropriations are not in effect, the bill would automatically appropriate funds at 99% of the previous year's rate to continue the program, project, or activity. This rate would be reduced by 1 percentage point every 90 days until the regular appropriations bill or a new continuing resolution is enacted. The bill aims to prevent government shutdowns by automatically providing temporary funding.
