House Republicans have put forth a bill to prevent a partial government shutdown at the end of the month and fund government operations until late March. This move aims to allow the incoming president and Congress to make final decisions on agency spending and priorities for the fiscal year 2025.
One notable addition to the legislation is a requirement for states to verify proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when individuals register to vote. However, this provision is facing resistance in the Senate, which could complicate the bill's passage.
