The Senate voted 72-25 to pass a continuing resolution (CR) after Democratic leadership dropped a controversial policy rider. The roughly 10-week spending bill will keep most agencies funded till December 16.

The House of Representatives passed a fiscal 2022 appropriations package (H.R. 2471) that will boost spending at domestic agencies by 6.7 percent.

The House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution on Tuesday, averting a government shutdown on February 18, 2022.

The House has authorized a finalized National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2022, authorizing $768.1 billion in defense spending after a series of delays, amendment disputes, and political tension. The NDAA was signed minutes after the House passed a measure to avert a first-ever government default, clearing the way for Congressional Democrats to expedite their year-end legislative agenda and focus on President Biden's social and energy policies.

After postponing decisions earlier in the year, Congress has an agreement on a short-term spending bill that funds agencies through February 18. However, there is still the possibility of a shutdown on December 3, as all 100 senators must agree to expedited consideration to avoid at least a temporary shutdown of federal agencies.

The Senate and the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution today funding the government at FY 2021 levels until December 3, 2021.

On September 21, 2021, the House passed a stopgap continuing resolution (CR) that would fund agencies at their current levels for about nine weeks.
