Continuing Resolution Passed, Keeping Federal Programs Funded Through April - December 12, 2016

With just hours to spare before the deadline, Congress avoided a government shutdown by passing a short-term continuing resolution (CR) on December 9. The CR maintains the FY17 spending cap of $1.07 trillion and keeps the federal government funded through April 28, 2017. President Obama signed the bill into law early the next day.
