FY2027 Continuing Resolution

What this does

This bill keeps the federal government funded past the September 30 deadline by extending fiscal year 2026 spending rates into fiscal year 2027. It is a continuing resolution. It carries no new full-year appropriations. Instead it lets agencies keep operating at their fiscal year 2026 rates under the same terms as the twelve named appropriations acts that funded them, covering agriculture, commerce and justice, defense, energy and water, financial services, homeland security, interior, labor and health and education, the legislative branch, military construction and veterans, state and foreign operations, and transportation and housing. This stopgap funding expires December 4, 2026, or sooner if Congress enacts the relevant full-year appropriations first. The bill restricts the Defense Department from starting new production, raising production rates, or beginning new projects that were not funded in fiscal year 2026. It adds specific new money above the continuing rate for the Indian Health Service, $75,774,000 for Indian Health Services and $8,296,000 for Indian Health Facilities, to staff recently opened facilities. It appropriates $174,000 each to the survivors of a deceased Representative and a deceased Senator. It blocks the automatic cost-of-living pay adjustment for Members of Congress during the period it covers.
