WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on Sept. 19 on a bill to fund the government through Nov. 21, therefore avoiding a government shutdown.

The government runs out of funding on Oct. 1 as the last day of the fiscal year is Sept. 30. The bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), would fund the government at current levels. It also includes $88 million in security funding for members of Congress, the executive branch, and Supreme Court justices in the wake of the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
