Continuing Resolution before and after HR5371
SUMMARY:
EH Version (Engrossed in House, passed September 19, 2025):
A short continuing resolution (CR) extending fiscal year 2025 funding levels through November 21, 2025, with limited extensions for public health programs, Medicare, human services, Medicaid, FDA, No Surprises Act implementation, and select VA matters. It focuses on basic government operations without detailed agency-specific appropriations.
EAS Version (Engrossed Amendment Senate, passed November 10, 2025):
A comprehensive “minibus” appropriations package that strikes all text after the enacting clause of the House version and inserts an expanded bill. It extends the CR through January 30, 2026, adds full appropriations for Agriculture/Rural Development/FDA, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction/VA (Divisions B–D), plus new divisions for agricultural extensions (E), health extenders (F), VA extenders (G), and miscellaneous provisions (H). This version incorporates explanatory statements, detailed funding tables, and numerous policy riders.

↕️ Summary of Impacts:
Additions: Senate adds ~$100B+ in detailed appropriations across agencies, policy riders (e.g., rescissions, exemptions), and extended programs—preventing shutdown while funding priorities.
Deletions: House-specific exclusions/exceptions (e.g., certain Sec. 101 items) and short extensions are removed or superseded.
Overall Effect: The Senate version averts a longer shutdown risk by extending funding further and providing targeted FY2026 money, but introduces new debates over spending levels and riders.
