Negotiations over the fiscal 2024 Homeland Security bill have fallen apart and lawmakers are now planning for a full-year continuing resolution for the agency, sources familiar with the talks say.
Appropriators are working on what adjustments to the DHS bill would be needed as “anomalies” to prevent funding disruptions in key areas, sources said, a clear sign that lawmakers no longer expect to reach an agreement on the bill.
The yearlong stopgap bill for the agency would count as “full-year appropriations” and not trigger automatic cuts on April 30 that were laid out in the debt limit law if a part-year CR were still in place, lawmakers believe.
