As Congress nears its September 30 funding deadline, the annual appropriations process is picking up speed — and bringing major questions with it.
The 12 House committees, along with their subcommittees, have been working to advance their appropriations bills; however, the path forward remains unclear, especially as the Senate begins its work. With a focus on key areas such as defense, health programs, and infrastructure, stakeholders are closely watching what these bills signal and where the money will ultimately be allocated.
Join our live 30-minute webinar on Wednesday, July 23 at 2 p.m. EDT, where CQ and Roll Call’s expert journalists will break down the current status and what’s next for the appropriations process. They’ll explore what’s happening with the House and Senate bills, the politics of rescissions packages, whether Congress will meet the September 30 deadline, and the wider impact of spending decisions.
