Recorded summary

The bill would provide automatic continuing appropriations if regular appropriations bills for a fiscal year are not enacted before the fiscal year begins and no continuing appropriations are in effect. Funding would be set at the prior fiscal year's rate of operations, continuing programs, projects, and activities funded in the preceding year.

Theological note: Stewardship of public funds and orderly governance are relevant to this issue. Avoiding shutdowns may serve public order and the continuity of lawful services. Automatic continued spending without fresh deliberation raises prudential concerns about fiscal accountability and the legislature's power of the purse, but the bill does not directly advance a named moral harm.
