Congress passed a $1.3 trillion spending bill early on March 23,
2018, narrowly averting a government shutdown. Following a 256-167
vote in the House and a 65-32 vote in the Senate, the FY 2018
(FY18) omnibus spending package was signed by President Donald
Trump. The measure boosts funding for defense and domestic programs
and is consistent with the two-year budget caps deal reached
earlier in February that allowed for a $80 billion increase in
defense spending, and a $63 billion increase for nondefense
programs. The bill will fund the government through September, and
garnered bipartisan support.
In this alert, member of our Public Policy &
Regulation Group provide key highlights for each department funded
in the FY18 omnibus appropriations bill.
