To provide for interim appropriations for the District of Columbia courts and related agencies with respect to any fiscal year for which appropriations are not otherwise provided for such courts and agencies.

HR 5654 ensures continuous funding for District of Columbia courts and justice agencies during budget gaps. If Congress fails to pass regular appropriations for these entities in a given fiscal year (starting in 2025), the bill automatically appropriates the same funding level as the prior year from general Treasury funds. It specifically covers six key areas: court operations, public defender services, offender supervision, criminal justice coordination, judicial commissions, and related agency payments. This prevents service disruptions by maintaining the previous year’s funding rates and terms until regular appropriations are enacted.
