Bill > HR0214

This resolution urges the United States Senate to immediately pass a clean continuing resolution (a temporary funding measure that maintains current spending levels) to reopen the federal government, which had been shut down for over 35 days at the time of the resolution. The document highlights the significant negative impacts of the shutdown on Michigan families, including disruptions to critical services like food assistance, public safety, and benefits for Medicare, Social Security, and Veterans Affairs. The resolution criticizes Senate Democrats, specifically Senators Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin, and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, for failing 14 times to approve a clean continuing resolution, noting that Senate rules require a three-fifths supermajority vote to proceed. The resolution calls on the Senate to take bipartisan action to end the shutdown, restore stability to families, and alleviate the hardship caused by the prolonged government closure. Finally, the resolution directs that copies be sent to the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, as well as to Senators Peters and Slotkin.
