Keep America Building Act

HR 5876, the Keep America Building Act, prevents federal agencies from using funds to halt construction work under government contracts during budget gaps. It directly affects federal contractors and agencies managing construction projects by requiring them to continue work without interruption if a government funding lapse occurs. The key provision bans the use of federal money to suspend, delay, or stop any part of a project covered by a contract during an appropriations lapse. This ensures continuity for ongoing construction projects without requiring new funding approvals during temporary budget shortfalls.
