TheUnited States federal budget forfiscal year 2019 ran from October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019. Five appropriation bills were passed in September 2018, the first time five bills had been enacted on time in 22 years, with the rest of the government being funded through a series of threecontinuing resolutions. A gap between the second and third of these led to the2018–19 federal government shutdown. The remainder of government funding was enacted as anomnibus spending bill in February 2019.
The FY2019 budget was subject to the spending caps of theBudget Control Act of 2011, as modified by theBipartisan Budget Act of 2018.
The115thUnited States Congress initially proposed three "minibus" appropriations bills prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.[3][4][5] Two of these were enacted prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, accounting for five bills totaling 77% of federal discretionary funding, and including acontinuing resolution until December 7 for the remaining agencies. It was the first time five bills had been enacted on time in 22 years, since the1997 fiscal year. The two bills are:[6]
On December 6, Congress passed a second continuing resolution (H.J.Res. 143) lasting through December 21, to give more time for negotiations on Trump's proposed border wall, which had been delayed due to thedeath and funeral of George H. W. Bush.[9]
On December 19, the Senate passed a second continuing resolution, the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (H.R. 695), lasting until February 8, 2019. However, after Trump declared the following day that he would not sign any funding bill that did not include border wall funding, the House passed a version of the continuing resolution on December 20 that added $5 billion for the wall and $8 billion in disaster aid.[10] Negotiations in the Senate did not lead to passage of a continuing resolution that day, causinga government shutdown to begin on December 22.[11]
On January 3, 2019, the first day of the116th Congress, the House passed a continuing resolution for the Department of Homeland Security (H.J.Res. 1) on a vote of 239–192, as well as a separate bill funding the remainder of government agencies, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (H.R. 21), on a vote of 241–190. The bills were not immediately expected to be considered in the Senate.[12]
Beginning on January 9, the House was expected to vote on four of the appropriations bills individually:Treasury and theGeneral Services Administration;Agriculture and theFood and Drug Administration;Interior and theEnvironmental Protection Agency; andTransportation andHousing and Urban Development. This strategy has been compared to one used by Republicans during the2013 shutdown in the form of a series offourteen mini-continuing resolutions.[13][14]
The government shutdown was ended by the passage of theFurther Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (H.J.Res. 28) on January 25.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (H.J.Res. 31) incorporated the remaining appropriations bills and was passed on February 15.
