What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill keeps the federal government funded through April 11, 2025, using mostly the same funding levels as the previous year, to prevent a government shutdown that would have happened on March 14, 2025. It also provides some extra money for specific things, like disaster relief through FEMA, certain Navy submarine and shipbuilding programs, and the Office of Navajo and Hopi Relocation. Beyond funding, the bill extends a number of programs and authorities that were set to expire, including public health, Medicare, and Medicaid programs, a whistleblower program for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, drone threat response powers for the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, a special fee on people convicted of sexual abuse or human trafficking offenses, and a national cybersecurity protection system.
