Barring any last minute changes, the first “minibus” spending package for FY2019 is expected to get signed into law today. The measure combines the Energy and Water, Veterans Affairs-Military Construction, and Legislative Branch appropriations bills.
The Senate cleared earlier this week the Labor-HHS-Education and Defense package, which the House is expected to take up sometime next week.
The sides chambers are also currently negotiating over a four-bill minibus that includes the agriculture, interior, financial services, and transportation-housing bills.
