Bill > HR5666

This bill provides a mechanism for the continued funding and operation of the Coast Guard during a potential government funding lapse. Specifically, the bill authorizes automatic appropriations to ensure the Coast Guard can continue functioning for up to 30 days (or the entire duration of the appropriations lapse, whichever is shorter) if regular funding is interrupted. This approach is designed to prevent disruptions to the Coast Guard's critical maritime safety, security, and rescue operations that could occur during a congressional budget impasse or government shutdown. By establishing this contingency funding, the bill aims to maintain the Coast Guard's essential services and protect public safety, even in the event of broader federal government funding challenges.
