The Senate passed a bill on Thursday to extend the expiration date for federal funding later into March, delaying a partial government shutdown that was set to begin March 2. The continuing resolution will fund roughly 20 percent of government departments until March 8 and the rest through March 22.
The House passed the legislation on Thursday afternoon by a vote of 320-99. The measure required the support of two-thirds of the chamber.
The legislation pushes the funding deadline to March 8 for several agencies, including the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Transportation, Energy, Agriculture, Interior, and Housing and Urban Development, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency. Financing for most of those agencies was set to expire Saturday just after midnight.
