Congress Averts Partial Government Shutdown
With the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and federal government just hours away from lapsing, House and Senate lawmakers voted to ensure the continued operations of the federal government, including the NFIP, through March 14.
The continuing resolution includes a clean short-term extension of government funding, aid for disaster relief and farmers, and reauthorization of the farm bill.
While NAHB is disappointed that some key code-related legislative priorities were left out due to political disagreements on the size and scope of the final package, NAHB will nevertheless continue to push for these priorities moving forward in the new year.
NAHB will continue to monitor developments closely and weigh in as appropriate.
