Senate passes bill to prevent shutdown
The Senate approved a short-term funding measure to keep federal agencies operational until December, aiming to prevent a government shutdown. The bipartisan bill, passing 90-6, funds the government generally at current levels through December 11, with specific provisions including delays to hemp product bans and regulations on federal grants. The measure excludes funding for a new battleship and restricts transfer of funds to the Border Patrol, reflecting negotiations with the White House. The House must also approve the bill before it advances to the President for signature.
