Fiscal Year 2015 Continuing Resolution

The new federal fiscal year starts on October 2, 2014, and not one of the FY 2015 funding bills have been signed into law. As such, without Congressional action, the federal government will shut down on October 1, 2014. Earlier this week, the leadership of the House of Representatives announced their intent to consider and hopefully pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the federal government through December 11, 2014. The CR will enable Congress to come back after the November 4th mid-term elections and determine how it wants to complete action on the fiscal year 2015 Budget.
