House passes continuing resolution; Senate passage expected
The House Feb. 29 voted 320-99 to pass a continuing resolution that would extend funding through March 8 for four appropriations bills set to expire March 1 and through March 22 for eight appropriations bills set to expire March 8. The Senate is expected to pass the measure before the deadline to prevent a government shutdown. Yesterday, negotiators also announced an agreement on six of the appropriations bills, which Congress intends to enact by the March 8 deadline.
