The House just voted and successfully passed the funding deal that would give full-year FY2026 appropriations to five of the funding bills, including the bill that provides SBA funding and authorization, and a short-term Continuing Resolution for the Department of Homeland Security. This comes after the Senate successfully passed the package late last week shortly after the funding deadline. Because the Senate-passed bill was different from what had previously been passed by the House, the Senate action caused another government shutdown which has been in effect since midnight Friday night.
The compromise funding deal now goes to the President’s desk for signature before the government can reopen. President Trump has already stated that he will sign the bill immediately. All expectations are that the government should be reopened sometime late afternoon or this evening.
