Congressman Tim Moore Votes to Extend Government Funding, Averting Shutdown
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 6500, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027, a short-term funding bill designed to extend federal funding through December 11, 2026. Congressman Tim Moore (R-NC) supported this legislation, emphasizing its role in preventing a government shutdown that would have occurred on September 30, 2026. According to Congressman Moore, this 'clean, straightforward' continuing resolution protects Americans from the financial and service disruptions associated with a shutdown. The bill maintains federal programs at their FY2026 funding levels and conditions. Key programs covered include FEMA disaster relief, WIC, SNAP, flood insurance, small-business lending, and assistance for low-income families. The legislation now proceeds to President Trump's desk for signature into law, allowing Congress additional time to finalize the full-year FY2027 appropriations bills without immediate pressure from a funding lapse.
