Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2025
The Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2025 automatically provides funding for most federal government programs if Congress fails to pass a full budget by the start of a new fiscal year. It sets initial funding at 94% of the previous year's level for 90 days, then reduces it by 1% every subsequent 90 days until a budget is approved. Programs like food assistance (under the Food and Nutrition Act) maintain full current funding, while other agencies face gradual cuts to prevent shutdowns. This ensures continuous government operations without requiring new legislation during budget delays.
