Rep. Andy Barr introduces legislation aimed at eliminating government shutdowns by ensuring continuous funding for federal agencies.

Quiver AI Summary

U.S. Representative Andy Barr has announced the introduction of the "End Government Shutdowns Act," aimed at preventing government shutdowns by implementing automatic funding measures. He cites the financial impacts and uncertainties caused by shutdowns, which affect over 800,000 American workers and hinder essential government services.

According to Barr, his legislation would retain funding at 99% of the previous year's budget for 30 days if Congress fails to pass timely appropriations, with further reductions thereafter if issues aren't resolved. He argues this approach is necessary to restore accountability in governance and support working families.

Barr emphasizes that government shutdowns create chaos and financial strain for military families and federal employees, asserting that a consistent, reliable budget is essential for the American people. His proposal aims to protect citizens from the adverse effects of political impasses.
