U.S. House of Representatives Passes Appropriations Bill, Partial Government Shutdown Deadlock Resolved

2026-02-03 21:32:11

The U.S. House of Representatives voted on February 3 to pass a funding bill for multiple federal agencies for the remainder of this fiscal year, resolving the partial government shutdown that began on January 31. After the bill is passed, it will be sent to the President for signature and enactment.

The bill will fund various federal agencies through September 30, the end of this fiscal year, and provide two weeks of funding to the Department of Homeland Security, which has recently been the focus of controversy and protests due to immigration enforcement actions, allowing all parties to continue negotiations on improving the department’s operations.

Because the federal funding bill passed by the U.S. Senate on January 30 was not promptly reviewed and approved by the House, multiple federal agencies have been in a “technical shutdown” since January 31.
