The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2025 introduces an automatic continuing appropriations mechanism to prevent government shutdowns. If full-year appropriations are not enacted by the start of a fiscal year, this bill mandates that funding for previously funded programs, projects, and activities will automatically continue for 14-day periods. This funding will be at the rate provided in the preceding applicable appropriation Act, ensuring essential government functions can proceed without interruption. During these periods of automatic continuing appropriations, the bill imposes significant restrictions on federal officials and legislative operations. Members of Congress , their staff, and employees of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are prohibited from official travel, with limited exceptions for returning to the seat of government or responding to national security events. Furthermore, campaign funds cannot be used for official travel during these times, reinforcing the consequences of a funding lapse. In the Senate and House of Representatives, legislative activity is severely constrained during a covered period. Only specific matters, such as appropriations bills, debt limit measures, emergency legislation, certain high-level nominations, or extensions of expiring programs, can be considered. The bill also restricts recesses or adjournments to no more than 23 hours and mandates daily quorum calls, aiming to keep Congress focused on resolving the appropriations impasse. To waive these procedural restrictions, a supermajority vote of two-thirds of the Members of the applicable House is required, and any waiver is limited to a maximum of seven days. The bill also includes provisions for limited fund transfers between agency accounts with OMB approval and congressional notification, ensuring flexibility while maintaining oversight. Finally, the budgetary effects of this Act are classified as discretionary appropriations for enforcement purposes, and it is set to take effect on September 30, 2025 .
