Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2020, and Further Health Extenders Act of 2019
Sponsor: JOSE SERRANO (D-NY)
This bill provides continuing FY2020 appropriations to federal agencies through December 20, 2019, and extends several expiring authorities and programs. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2020 appropriations bills have not been enacted when the existing CR expires after November 21, 2019. The bill also provides a pay raise for the military, repeals a rescission of state highway funding, and modifies the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund.
Economics and Public Finance Topic assigned by the Congressional Research Service. CRS gives each bill one topic, based on the bill as introduced. This one carries 117 subject terms, so it spans well beyond that single label.
