Congress OKs Stopgap Funding Measure
Congress now has until March 1 to pass FAA budget
Washington, D.C. overview

The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate narrowly averted the looming federal government shutdown with the passage of a stopgap measure that extends funding into March. Approved by the Senate 77-18 and by the House 314-108 yesterday, the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act of 2024 (H.R.2872) essentially extends funding temporarily at fiscal 2023 levels until full fiscal 2024 bills can be passed.

Congress had faced a deadline at the end of today to extend funding temporarily or pass full-year bills for most government agencies. The latest continuing resolution sets two deadlines for the completion of the fiscal 2024 government funding bills.
