H.R. 8319 · 116th Congress
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
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 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act
This bill provides continuing FY2021 appropriations to federal agencies through December 11, 2020, and extends several programs.
It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2021 appropriations bills have not been enacted when FY2021 begins on October 1, 2020.
The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2020 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations to various programs.
In addition, the bill extends several authorities and programs, including
- surface transportation programs;
- public health, Medicare, and Medicaid authorities and programs;
- several authorities related to veterans benefits;
- the National Flood Insurance Program;
- the Appalachian Regional Commission;
- the U.S. Parole Commission;
- the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program; and
- several authorities related to immigration.
The bill also includes provisions that
- increase and expand U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services fees for providing premium processing services for certain immigration-related applications, and
- reauthorize a program that provides incentives (e.g., limitations on civil liability) for corporations to self-report antitrust violations to the Department of Justice.
