Automatic Funding to Prevent Government Shutdowns with Gradual Reductions.
This bill aims to stop government shutdowns by automatically providing temporary funding if Congress fails to pass a budget on time. Citizens benefit from uninterrupted federal services, but prolonged delays in passing a full budget will trigger automatic, gradual reductions in program funding (1% every 90 days). This ensures stability while pressuring Congress to finalize the budget quickly.
Key points
Ensures continuous operation of federal services and agencies, preventing disruptions caused by funding lapses.
Automatic funding starts at 99% of the previous year's budget level.
Funding levels are reduced by 1% for every 90-day period that the full budget remains unpassed.
Prohibits large initial grants or full funding distributions during the temporary funding period to protect final budgetary prerogatives.
