NACD GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS UPDATE ON THE 2021 APPROPRIATIONS BILL
By Eric Hansen, NACD Government Affairs Manager
Even though Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) began on October 1, Congress has not yet passed a full year federal funding bill or appropriations bill. Currently, the federal government is operating under a short-term extension, or continuing resolution (CR), that is set to expire on December 11. Without additional action by Congress, the government will be forced to shut down.
