To provide for interim appropriations for the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts with respect to any fiscal year for which appropriations are not otherwise provided for the commissions.

This bill would establish a safety net for the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts. If Congress does not pass a budget that includes funding for these two commissions in a given fiscal year, the bill would allow them to continue operating using the same funding level and terms from the previous year. This would protect these commissions from shutting down during lapses in federal appropriations.

The National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts are responsible for planning and overseeing development and design in Washington, DC. Without this protection, these commissions could be forced to cease operations if Congress fails to pass a complete budget. If enacted, this bill would ensure continuity in their work during budget disputes or delays, though it would not increase their funding—only maintain the previous year's level if new appropriations are not provided.
