Government Shutdown Prevention: Automatic Funding for Public Services

This act aims to prevent government shutdowns that could impact daily public services. It introduces automatic funding for programs and projects, even if Congress fails to pass a budget on time. This means essential services, such as benefit payments and agency operations, will continue, albeit with an initial reduction in funding levels to encourage prompt budget approval.
Key points
No more government shutdowns: Public services will continue without interruption, even without an enacted budget.
Automatic funding: Programs and projects will receive funds at 94% of the previous year's rate, with further reductions every 90 days if a budget is not passed.
Benefit protection: Entitlement and other mandatory payments will continue at current levels.
Stability for citizens: Ensures continuity of government agency operations, minimizing disruptions to daily life and access to services.
