Government funding bill will run through March, include $100B in disaster aid
Pieces of a bipartisan effort to prevent a government shutdown during the holiday season are beginning to come into focus, including a March end-date and $100 billion in disaster aid.
GOP leadership briefed Republicans on Tuesday morning on some of the details of the forthcoming legislation. Text of the measure has yet to be released.
“Bipartisan work is ongoing. We’re almost there,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said at his weekly press conference Tuesday.
The continuing resolution (CR) would keep government funding at current levels through March 14 and includes roughly $100 in disaster aid to help communities hard-hit by hurricanes Helene and Milton, lawmakers said Tuesday morning.
