Plain-English Summary
The bill would require the federal government to develop and maintain plans for continuing essential operations during budget crises, such as when Congress fails to pass a spending bill on time. It would establish procedures to keep critical services running for workers, veterans, and the public during these financial emergencies, while also setting rules for how agencies should manage their resources when funding is uncertain.
