On Sept. 29, 2016, President Obama signed into law H.R.5325 – Continuing Appropriations and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, and Zika Response and Preparedness Act. This legislation, referred to as the short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, will keep the government agencies and programs funded through Dec. 9. The resolution will require lawmakers to return to Washington after the November elections to pass full-year appropriations for 11 of 12 of the normal appropriations bills.
