FY17 Appropriations Update
Last week, the Senate finished work on its first FY17 funding bill, Energy and Water (H.R. 2028).
This week, the Senate will consider a combined FY17 appropriations package of Transportation-Housing and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs (H.R. 2577). The package is also expected to include money to combat the Zika virus.
In the House, budget rules allow Republican leaders to begin taking appropriations bills to the floor this week without an FY17 budget resolution. First up will be Military Construction-Veterans Affairs.
