Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act

This act provides continuing FY2022 appropriations for federal agencies, provides supplemental appropriations, and extends several expiring programs and authorities.

Specifically, the act provides continuing FY2022 appropriations to federal agencies through the earlier of December 3, 2021, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations act.

It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2022 appropriations bills have not been enacted when FY2022 begins on October 1, 2021. The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2021 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs.

In addition, the act provides supplemental appropriations to several federal agencies for activities related to natural disasters and the evacuees from Afghanistan.

The act also extends several expiring programs and authorities, including

  • the National Flood Insurance Program,
  • the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program,
  • the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity,
  • the United States Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy,
  • the temporary scheduling order issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration to place fentanyl-related substances in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, and
  • the authority for the Department of Agriculture to waive certain requirements for the school meal programs.
Bill 117 HR 5305, also known as the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to extend government funding for various federal agencies and programs, as well as provide emergency assistance in response to ongoing crises or disasters.

The bill includes provisions to fund the government through a specified period of time, ensuring that essential services and programs continue to operate without interruption. Additionally, the bill allocates funds for emergency assistance in response to natural disasters, public health emergencies, or other unforeseen events that require immediate action.

One key aspect of the bill is the allocation of funds for disaster relief efforts, including assistance for individuals and communities affected by hurricanes, wildfires, or other natural disasters. This funding is crucial in providing support to those in need and helping to rebuild and recover from the devastation caused by these events. Overall, Bill 117 HR 5305 aims to ensure the continued operation of the government and provide necessary assistance in times of crisis. It is an important piece of legislation that addresses pressing issues facing the country and demonstrates the government's commitment to supporting its citizens in times of need.
