U.S. House Approves Short-Term Funding Bill, Averting Government Shutdown Until December

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution (CR) on September 1, 2026, by a vote of 370-48, to extend federal government funding through December 11, 2026. This action prevents a potential government shutdown as current appropriations were set to expire on September 30. The legislation also delays the implementation of a proposed Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rule that would significantly alter federal grant guidance.
