Congressional leaders unveiled on Tuesday another stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown at the end of the week, just days before the Christmas holiday.
The continuing resolution (CR) seeks to provide funds to various departments through March 14, 2025, and more than $100 billion in disaster aid, according to early reports.
Included in its 1,547 pages were many other provisions, such as a one-year farm bill extension, pharmacy benefit management reform, and money for submarines.
The measure also has sections to transfer jurisdiction of RFK stadium to D.C. and funds to rebuild Maryland’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which was wrecked by a ship collision.
Earlier, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the CR was intended to be “simple,” but it also was “important” to address hurricane disasters and help struggling farmers.
