Continuing Appropriations and Surface Transportation Extensions Act, 2011

Bill 111 hr 3082, also known as the Continuing Appropriations and Surface Transportation Extensions Act, 2011, was introduced in the US Congress to provide funding for various government agencies and programs, as well as to extend funding for surface transportation projects.

The bill aimed to keep the government running by providing funding for federal agencies and programs that had not yet received full appropriations for the fiscal year. This was necessary because Congress had not passed a full budget for the year, and without this bill, many government functions would have been forced to shut down.

In addition to funding government operations, the bill also included provisions to extend funding for surface transportation projects. This was important to ensure that critical infrastructure projects, such as road and bridge repairs, could continue without interruption. Overall, the Continuing Appropriations and Surface Transportation Extensions Act, 2011 was a crucial piece of legislation that helped to keep the government running and ensure that important infrastructure projects could continue. It was a bipartisan effort to address the funding needs of various government agencies and programs, and ultimately helped to keep the country moving forward.
