Bill Summary
Making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2016, and for other purposes. This joint resolution amends the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016 to extend the continuing FY2016 appropriations for federal agencies at the current annual rate until the earlier of midnight on December 16, 2015, or enactment of FY2016 appropriations legislation. The joint resolution prevents a government shutdown when funding under current law expires on December 11, 2015.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution extends government funding for fiscal year 2016, which began on October 1, 2015, by amending the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016. This means that federal agencies will continue to receive money at their current levels until December 16, 2015, or until Congress passes new, permanent funding bills for fiscal year 2016, whichever comes first. This action is crucial to prevent a government shutdown, which would have occurred if funding had expired on December 11, 2015, without this extension.
