Don't Interrupt America Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Shut Down the Shutdowns Act or the Don't Interrupt America Act

This bill prevents a government shutdown by automatically providing continuing appropriations to a federal agency if an appropriation expires prior to passage of a new appropriations measure funding the agency. If the prior appropriation expires before new appropriations are provided, the bill appropriates funds to the agency at the rate of the previous appropriation and under the same terms and conditions.
