FY23 Appropriations
Congress has until Friday, September 30 to pass a short-term continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded and avert a government shutdown. The Senate released text of the CR yesterday, which will last through December 16.
The CR includes a controversial proposal from Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) to streamline the permitting process for energy infrastructure projects. The CR also includes funding for a variety of other priorities such as support for Ukraine, disaster aid for U.S. states, funding for energy and heating assistance for low-income folks, and funding for water infrastructure in Jackson, MS.
FTCA Coverage for Volunteer Health Professionals
The CR proposed by the Senate also includes a permanent extension of FTCA Coverage for Volunteer Health Professionals who volunteer at community health centers. FTCA Coverage for Volunteer Health Professionals is currently set to expire on Friday, September 30.
