In its closing days of the 118th Congress, the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate passed and sent to President Biden a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the Federal government operational through March 14, 2025. In addition to extending funding for the government, the bill, the American Relief Act (H.R. 10545), provides about $100 billion in Federal disaster aid. President Biden signed the bill into law on December 21, 2024.
With respect to the U.S. Census Bureau, the bill continues funding for the agency at its Fiscal Year 2024 funding level. The Bureau has not publicly released details yet regarding the consequences of this temporary funding extension.
The 119th Congress convenes on January 3, 2025. One of its early priorities will be to resolve the Fiscal Year 2025 appropriations process before the current CR expires in mid-March.
