What this bill would do

This bill provides for interim appropriations for the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts. It establishes a system for funding these entities if no new appropriations are provided for a given fiscal year. Starting with fiscal year 2025, the bill allows for necessary sums to be taken from the Treasury to cover expenses. These funds are provided at the same rate, terms, and conditions as the previous fiscal year. The interim funding ends once a subsequent appropriation or a general appropriation bill is enacted into law.
