House Republicans released a new short-term spending bill to extend government funding into next year, revising the bipartisan spending bill that was scrapped earlier this week due to GOP opposition.
The latest continuing resolution would maintain current funding levels for government agencies until March 14, adhering to the same timeline as the previous proposal. However, the revised version would omit certain provisions from the original bill that Republicans, including President-elect Donald Trump, rejected, such as reforms for pharmacy benefit managers and language that would increase the cost of a higher blend of ethanol, called E15.
