Federal FY2017 comes to a close Saturday night, September 30. To prevent the government from shutting down Sunday morning at the start of FY2018, Congress passed and the President signed into law earlier this month a short-term funding measure that would keep the federal government funded through the first week of December essentially at FY2017 levels.
Whether and if any of the 12 individual spending bills for FY2018 are dealt with before the short-term funding package expires on December 9 remains to be seen.
