Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2021
Summary
The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2021 aims to eliminate federal funding gaps by automatically triggering a "continuing resolution" if Congress fails to pass annual budget legislation on time. This mechanism would keep the government running at current funding levels, ensuring that federal services remain open and employees continue to be paid without interruption. To encourage a final budget agreement, the bill would restrict official travel for executive branch officials and members of Congress, and prohibit the Senate from moving to other legislative business until the remaining appropriations bills are passed.
