Bill > HR5842

This bill, the Coast Guard Sustained Funding Act of 2023, amends Title 14 of the United States Code to ensure the continuation of pay and benefits for Coast Guard military members, civilian employees, and contract employees in the event of a "Coast Guard-specific funding lapse," which occurs when a new appropriations bill for the Coast Guard is not enacted before the start of a fiscal year. The bill also provides exceptions to the Anti-Deficiency Act, allowing the Coast Guard to continue certain essential operations and functions during a funding lapse. The appropriations and authorities granted under this bill will remain available until either a new appropriations law is enacted or the applicable regular or continuing appropriations resolution is passed without any Coast Guard-specific appropriation.
