Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2025

Sponsor: Clay Higgins (R-LA)

This bill provides continuing FY2025 appropriations for federal agencies, provides emergency funding for disaster relief, extends various expiring programs and authorities, and modifies voter registration requirements for federal elections. Specifically, the bill provides continuing FY2025 appropriations to federal agencies through the earlier of March 28, 2025, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations act. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2025 appropriations bills have not been enacted when FY2025 begins on October 1, 2024.

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 617 subject terms, so it spans well beyond that single label.
