Bill > S2882

This bill is a comprehensive continuing appropriations and extensions measure for fiscal year 2026, designed to fund the federal government and extend various existing programs through October 31, 2025. The bill is divided into two main divisions: Division A covers continuing appropriations, which allows government agencies to continue operating at fiscal year 2025 funding levels, and Division B provides extensions for various programs across multiple sectors. Key provisions include maintaining existing government operations, extending healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid, providing funding for veterans' services, and extending various cybersecurity and development programs. The bill also includes specific funding allocations for areas like judicial security, with $28 million for Supreme Court Justice residence protection and $52 million for courthouse security improvements. Notably, the bill permanently extends the enhanced tax credit for healthcare marketplace insurance and provides a one-month extension for numerous federal programs and authorities that were set to expire on September 30, 2025. The legislation is essentially a stopgap measure to prevent government shutdown and ensure continuity of critical services while providing Congress more time to negotiate full-year appropriations.
