The bill largely maintains current spending levels

 

Congressional negotiators unveiled a 99-page spending bill that would keep the government funded through the start of the fiscal year 2026.

If passed by March 14, the bill would avoid government shutdown. 

The bill largely maintains current spending levels the same.

An additional $8 billion would be included for defense programs and an additional $6 billion for veterans' healthcare.

Non-defense spending would drop by about $13 billion.

Read the bill here.
