HR 5667 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.

To provide for continued operation of the Federal Aviation Administration in the event of a lapse in appropriations.
Summary
This bill would ensure the Federal Aviation Administration can continue operating if a lapse in appropriations occurs, such as during a government shutdown. In the event of such a lapse, the bill automatically appropriates whatever funds are necessary to keep the FAA functioning. The FAA would be funded under this provision for whichever is shorter: 30 days or the duration of the lapse in appropriations. This would allow the FAA to maintain operations and aviation safety functions during periods when Congress has not enacted appropriations legislation.
