To provide for interim appropriations for the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts with respect to any fiscal year for which appropriations are not otherwise provided for the commissions.
HR 5719 ensures the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts continue operating without interruption if Congress fails to pass their full annual budget. It automatically provides funding at the previous year's level for the next fiscal year (starting 2025) using unappropriated Treasury funds. This prevents shutdowns during budget gaps while the commissions maintain their regular operations and expenses. The bill directly affects only these two entities and their budget continuity.
