Summary
What This Bill Does
This continuing resolution funds the federal government through December 20, 2024, at fiscal year 2024 spending levels. It prevents a government shutdown while Congress finishes work on full-year appropriations, and includes specific provisions for presidential transition, inauguration security, and maintaining key programs.
Who Benefits and How
Federal agencies can continue operations without shutdown. Federal employees avoid furloughs—agencies may increase civilian pay rates to prevent layoffs. WIC recipients maintain program participation at current levels. The presidential transition team receives $25 million for transition activities. DC receives $47 million for inauguration security costs. Farm loan applicants continue receiving approved loans at higher rates.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Defense programs face restrictions—no new production, no rate increases, no new projects beyond FY2024 levels. Grant programs cannot make high initial distributions that would "impinge on final funding prerogatives." The most limited funding action permitted must be taken. Mandatory payments continue but with timing restrictions near the expiration date.
Key Provisions
- Funds government through December 20, 2024 at FY2024 rates
- $25 million for presidential transition administrative support
- $47 million for DC inauguration security
