the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023; and 
 
the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023.
 
 
For most other federal agencies and programs, the CR provides funding through February 2, 2024.
 
The CR also extends several programs and authorities, including 
 
 
programs authorized by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (commonly known as the 2018 farm bill),
 
several public health programs and authorities,
 
the U.S. Parole Commission, and

Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024

 
(Sec. 101) This section provides continuing FY2024 appropriations for federal agencies and extends several expiring programs and authorities.
 
It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2024 appropriations bills have not been enacted when the existing CR expires on November 17, 2023.
 
The CR provides funding through January 19, 2024, for agencies and programs that were funded in the following four FY2023 appropriations acts:
 
 
the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023;

the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023; and
 
the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023.
 
 
For most other federal agencies and programs, the CR provides funding through February 2, 2024.
 
The CR generally funds most programs and activities at the FY2023 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs. For example, the CR includes exceptions for:
 
 
the Navy's procurement of one Columbia Class Submarine, 
 
activities of the U.S. Secret Service that are related to National Special Security Events and the 2024 Presidential Campaign, and

Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024

 
(Sec. 101) This section provides continuing FY2024 appropriations for federal agencies and extends several expiring programs and authorities.
 
It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2024 appropriations bills have not been enacted when the existing CR expires on November 17, 2023.
 
The CR provides funding through January 19, 2024, for agencies and programs that were funded in the following four FY2023 appropriations acts:
 
 
the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023;

the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023; and
 
the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023.
 
 
For most other federal agencies and programs, the CR provides funding through February 2, 2024.
 
The CR generally funds most programs and activities at the FY2023 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations for various programs. For example, the CR includes exceptions for:
 
 
the Navy's procurement of one Columbia Class Submarine, 
 
activities of the U.S. Secret Service that are related to National Special Security Events and the 2024 Presidential Campaign, and 
 
activities of the Department of Education that are necessary to ensure the continuation of student loan servicing activities.
 
 
This section also extends several expiring programs and authorities, including
