Senate expected to pass funding deal as partial government shutdown approaches
The Senate Jan. 30 is expected to pass a government funding plan ahead of a midnight deadline. A partial shutdown is still set to occur as the Senate changed the House-passed bill, so the House must vote on the new deal when it returns to session Feb. 2. The Senate reached an agreement Jan. 29 that consists of a short-term continuing resolution for the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, and a package of five full-year appropriations bills containing conferenced legislation for the Departments of Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development. The deal includes a bipartisan health package with extensions of key health care programs, many of which are supported by the AHA. The AHA will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
