H.R. 5325 As Amended

Sponsor: Tom Graves (R-GA)

(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the Senate on September 28, 2016. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Highlights: This bill provides FY2017 appropriations for Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies; continuing appropriations through December 9, 2016, for other federal agencies; and FY2016 supplemental appropriations to respond to the Zika virus. The bill also includes several rescissions and provides additional funding for disaster relief.
