On March 15, 2025, President Donald Trump signed into law a year-long continuing resolution (CR) to extend funding for the federal government through September 30, 2025. The House passed the bill by a vote of 217-to-213, with all Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voting against the bill, and the Senate passed the bill by a vote of 62-to-38, with 10 Democrats voting for the bill and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) voting against it.

 

The CR reduces non-defense spending by $13 billion by removing Congressional member project earmarks and increases defense spending by $6 billion compared to the enacted fiscal year 2024 levels. The structure of the CR does not include many of the normal budget line items and directives within each agency, as there is no explanatory statement accompanying the bill language. Agencies are directed by the CR to submit spending plans to Congress within 45 days and obligation reports once funds are spent.  

The text of the FY 2025 year-long CR can be found here.
