Senate Passes Continuing Resolution to Fund Government Through December 11 and Delay OMB Rule

The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) with a 90-6 vote to fund the government through December 11, 2026, or until appropriations acts for Fiscal Year 2027 are enacted. The bill maintains funding at FY 2026 levels for most government agencies and programs and includes a provision to delay changes to federal grant administration from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Rule, providing more preparation time for counties.
