President Biden Signs Stopgap Funding Bill, Extending Government Funding into March
President Biden has signed a stopgap funding bill into law on Saturday, extending government funding into March and avoiding a shutdown. The White House made the announcement, stating that the bill includes $100 billion in disaster aid and a one-year farm bill.
The Senate worked late into the night to pass the bill with a vote of 85-11, just after the deadline following a chaotic week on Capitol Hill. President Biden has not yet publicly commented on the passage of the legislation.
The White House released a statement saying, “H.R. 10545, the ‘American Relief Act, 2025,’ provides fiscal year 2025 appropriations to Federal agencies through March 14, 2025, for continuing projects and activities of the Federal Government. It also provides disaster relief appropriations and economic assistance to farmers, extends the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, and extends several expiring authorities.”
