NEWS | Federal Funding Secure Through the Next Six Months

Shutdowns harm small businesses. NSBA applauds Congress for reaching a funding compromise.  

On Saturday, March 23, President Joe Biden signed a $1.2 trillion spending package a mere hours before a partial government shutdown.  

Although leaders on both sides of the aisle in both chambers celebrated the spending package agreement, before a compromise could be reached, gridlock on several hard line items, like border security spending, required passage of several short-term bills to keep the agencies funded.  

NSBA applauds Congress for reaching a compromise on spending, as shuttered agencies and shutdowns harm small business, including small-business owners’ access to resources provided by critical federal agencies.  

The U.S. Government is funded...for now.
