Congress has again voted to avoid a partial government shutdown by approving another short stopgap spending measure—the fourth such bill since October. The extension gives it more time to work out spending differences that would carry through Sept. 30, the end of the 2024 fiscal year. President Joe Biden signed the spending measure on March 1.
The continuing resolution, or CR, has two endpoints. For eight of the 12 individual agency appropriations bills, the new deadline is March 8; for the rest, it is March 22.
