Government Funding Bills Secure Continued Operations

The new legislation provides funding to keep vital government services running smoothly through the remainder of the fiscal year. After months of relying on short-term spending measures, lawmakers from both parties came together to pass a comprehensive package of Government Funding Bills addressing the needs of multiple agencies and departments.

What’s included in the new funding bills?

The package includes approximately $1.5 trillion to cover operating costs for departments such as Agriculture, Commerce, Justice and Veterans Affairs. It also provides funding increases for important programs like food assistance for women and children. In addition, the bills allocate resources for initiatives focusing on national security, infrastructure, science and technology.

With this new government funding bills in place, agencies can avoid disruptions to operations and continue delivering essential services to the American public. The passage of the legislation shows that bipartisan cooperation is still possible when the priority is keeping the government running smoothly. However, lawmakers will still need to address additional funding bills before the next deadline in order to sustain this progress.
