House passes legislation to fund government through March 11
The House yesterday voted 272-162 to pass a continuing resolution that would fund federal programs through March 11 to prevent a government shutdown when the current CR expires Feb. 18. The legislation also would extend through March 11 the current federal medical assistance percentage for certain territories, among other provisions. The Senate could consider the CR soon. Congress continues to negotiate overall funding levels for an omnibus funding bill for the rest of fiscal year 2022.
