Congressman Tim Moore Votes to Extend Government Funding, Avert Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the U.S. House passed H.R. 6500, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027, to continue federal funding through December 11, 2026. This legislation prevents a September 30, 2026 government shutdown while allowing Congress to continue working on the full-year FY2027 appropriations bills.

"I'm proud to support this clean, straightforward continuing resolution that protects Americans from the costs of a shutdown and ensures election-year politics don't jeopardize the funding process," said Congressman Moore. "This short-term measure prevents a last-minute funding crisis, guards the critical services Americans rely on, and preserves the path to completing full-year FY27 appropriations without allowing political games to dictate the process."

This legislation continues programs at the funding rates and under the conditions established in the FY2026 appropriations laws. It also preserves funding authority for FEMA disaster relief and continues programs such as WIC, SNAP, flood insurance, small-business lending, and assistance for low-income families.

H.R. 6500 now advances to President Trump's desk to be signed into law.
