Automatic Government Funding: Preventing Future Shutdowns

This bill aims to prevent government shutdowns for most agencies not directly tied to Congress or the Executive Office of the President. It ensures that if a budget is not passed on time, most public services will continue, providing stability and continuity. This means citizens will not experience interruptions in access to essential services.
Key points
No more government shutdowns: The bill ensures automatic funding for most agencies if Congress fails to pass a budget on time.
Continuity of public services: Citizens will have assurance that essential services, like benefit payments or government office operations, will not be halted.
Financial stability: Agencies can continue their work at the previous year's funding level, minimizing disruptions.
