To provide for continued operation of the Coast Guard in the event of a lapse in appropriation.

This bill prevents a Coast Guard shutdown during a federal funding gap. If Congress fails to pass a new budget, it automatically provides funds to keep the Coast Guard operating for up to 30 days or until funding is restored - whichever comes first. The bill directly affects the Coast Guard's ability to maintain operations like maritime safety, search and rescue, and port security during budget delays. It does not create new policies but ensures continuity of existing services during funding transitions.
