What this bill does

In plain words · AI-written from the official summary

Bill keeps federal government funded through April

This bill keeps federal agencies running and funded through April 11, 2025. It essentially buys time so Congress can finish writing the detailed budget bills for the year. The bill also extends programs set to expire, including public health and Medicare programs, and provides extra money for specific needs like disaster relief and Navy shipbuilding.

How it affects you

You'll notice this mainly if you rely on federal services or programs. Federal employees keep getting paid, Medicare and Medicaid keep running, and disaster relief stays available. The bill also extends cybersecurity protections and other programs that might affect your daily life, though most people won't see a direct change from this particular bill.

Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2025

This bill provides continuing FY2025 appropriations for federal agencies through April 11, 2025. It also extends various expiring programs and authorities, including several public health programs.

Specifically, the bill provides continuing FY2025 appropriations to federal agencies through the earlier of April 11, 2025, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations act. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2025 appropriations bills have not been enacted when the existing CR expires on March 14, 2025.

The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2024 levels with some exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs. For example, the CR

• provides additional emergency funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Disaster Relief Fund,

• permits the Navy to apportion funds at the rate necessary to fund the Columbia-class submarine program and cost increases for certain shipbuilding programs, and

• provides additional funding for the Office of Navajo and Hopi Relocation.

In addition, the bill extends several expiring programs and authorities, including

• several public health, Medicare, and Medicaid authorities and programs;

• authorities related to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission whistleblower program;

• authorities for the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to take actions to mitigate a credible threat from an unmanned aircraft system;

• the special assessment on nonindigent persons or entities convicted of certain offenses involving sexual abuse or human trafficking; and

• the National Cybersecurity Protection System.
