Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2023

HR 5543, the Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2023, automatically continues federal funding for most programs if a new budget isn't passed by the start of a fiscal year. It provides funding at 99% of the previous year's level for the first 90 days, reducing by 1% every subsequent 90 days until a budget is enacted. This applies to federal programs, projects, or activities without an enacted budget or existing continuing resolution, preventing shutdowns by maintaining operations at gradually decreasing levels. The bill ensures funding continues until a regular appropriations bill or continuing resolution is signed into law, without affecting existing terms and conditions from the prior year.
