HR 1932 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Making continuing appropriations for military pay in the event of a Government shutdown.
Summary
This bill authorizes emergency appropriations to continue paying active-duty members of the Armed Forces during a government shutdown when other appropriations are not in effect. The bill also provides funds to pay civilian employees of the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security (Coast Guard) who support active-duty troops during a shutdown. Additionally, it provides funds for defense contractors supporting active-duty military members. The appropriations under this bill would terminate when normal appropriations are enacted, or on January 1, 2026, whichever comes first.
