Summary

This joint resolution provides continuing FY2018 appropriations to federal agencies through December 14, 2017, or the enactment of specified appropriations legislation. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur when FY2018 begins on October 1, 2017, if the 12 FY2018 regular appropriations bills that fund the federal government have not been enacted.
