S. 2806: Eliminate Shutdowns Act
Sponsor
Ron Johnson
Republican · WI
What S. 2806 does
If no spending bills or continuing appropriations are in effect when a fiscal year begins, the government can shut down. The Eliminate Shutdowns Act would prevent that by providing automatic continuing appropriations at the prior year's rate of operations, so programs, projects and activities funded the year before keep running. It applies when appropriations bills have not been enacted and no continuing appropriations are in effect.
