Senate passes bill to avert $1B hit to D.C. budget in spending plan

Summary

76% Informative

The Senate passed a stand-alone bill that would allow D.C. to continue with its 2025 budget without interruption.

House Republicans omitted a routine, long-standing provision to allow the city to continue spending its active local budget.

The bill must now go back to the House for approval, and it is unclear whether Republicans there will support it.

If it does not pass the House , the city must still contend with the anticipated $1 billion in cuts.

Even if senators agreed to address D.C. 's problem within the spending bill, any amendment would have to go back through the House as well. But with the House out on recess and many representatives out of town, senators were not willing to risk a shutdown waiting for them to return to reconsider the bill. This story is developing and will be updated..
