Senate Approves Short-Term Government Funding Resolution

The Senate has approved a bill establishing a temporary funding resolution for the federal government, effectively ending a government shutdown that began October 1st. The resolution doesn’t include provisions to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, a primary demand voiced by Democrats. The agreement will provide funding for essential government operations through November 17th. While the resolution avoids a shutdown, it is a temporary measure designed to prevent further disruption to government services. The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration and passage.
