HR 2872 United States House · 118th Congress

Making further continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, and for other purposes.

HR 2872 extends funding for numerous health and human services programs through March 8, 2024, instead of their previous January 2024 expiration dates. The bill modifies funding amounts for Community Health Centers ($536 million), National Health Service Corps ($41 million), and Special Diabetes Programs ($20 million), while extending deadlines for Medicaid and Medicare programs. It also authorizes specific appropriations for the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration ($760 million) and the Federal Aviation Administration to maintain operations. This continuing resolution ensures ongoing support for healthcare providers, patients, and government agencies that rely on these federal programs without changing program eligibility or creating new services.

Engrossed in House Enrolled Bill · 9 edits
MAJOR
The bill was completely replaced in substance. The previous version authorized fully electronic duck stamps by amending the Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp Act of 2013. The enrolled version is now the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024, which extends government funding deadlines from mid-January to early March 2024 and includes numerous HHS, Medicaid, Medicare, and other program extensions.

The bill was entirely replaced. It changed from a narrow wildlife/hunting policy bill about electronic duck stamps to a comprehensive continuing appropriations and extensions act covering government funding deadlines, HHS programs, Medicaid, Medicare, human services, compacts with Pacific island nations, and counter-drone authorities.
SCOPE

All provisions regarding electronic duck stamps were removed, including amendments to the Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp Act of 2013 covering electronic stamp authorization, delivery of physical stamps after March 10, stamp validity through close of hunting season, and contents of electronic stamps.
