Read the full summary

This bill provides continuing FY2027 appropriations for federal agencies and extends various expiring programs and authorities. Specifically, the bill provides continuing FY2027 appropriations to federal agencies through the earlier of December 11, 2026, 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 FY2027 appropriations bills have not been enacted when FY2027 begins on October 1, 2026. The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2026 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility or additional appropriations for various programs. For example, the CR includes exceptions for - the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); - Small Business Administration loans; - the Disaster Relief Fund; - the Indian Health Service; - the Department of Justice; and - wildfire suppression activities.
