Appropriations for FY 2025
The appropriations process for Fiscal Year 2025 continues to move in the House, though the expectation is that none of the bills will be completed before the September 30th deadline. House Republicans plan to increase defense spending by 1 percent, while cutting all other domestic spending by at least 6 percent. This would certainly include cuts to many of our key programs. A summary of the House Agriculture Appropriations bill for FY 2025 can be found here.
The Senate has been much slower to pass its versions of appropriations bills, and is not projected to finish them before the end of the current Fiscal Year. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) issued a factsheet on the impact of some of the proposed spending cuts.
As a result of this delay, Congress will have to pass a Continuing Resolution, or CR, extending current funding levels into November or December, past the upcoming election.
