The House has advanced three budget bills, rejected the proposed Farm Bill, and is expected to vote on a continuing resolution (CR) Friday—Sept. 29—to temporarily fund the federal government until a Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) budget is adopted.

Without a CR in place, the federal government will go into a partial shutdown when the new fiscal year begins in less than two days on Oct. 1.
