What this bill would do

Specifically, it appropriates necessary money from the Treasury for the first 90-day period of a funding lapse for fiscal years beginning after September 30, 2024. These funds are required to be placed in reserve for use when necessary to run program operations. The provided funds will remain available until they are spent.
