What This Bill Does
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.
