House Republican leadership released text for a stopgap spending deal on Tuesday afternoon as the conference races against the clock to get funding legislation to President Donald Trump’s desk by the end of the month to avoid a government shutdown.
The continuing resolution will extend current funding levels for the federal government and punt the deadline to Nov. 21. The bill includes a $30 million increase for a law enforcement mutual aid fund. This is in addition to the $58 million request from the Trump administration for security increases for the executive and judicial branches.
