Bill overview
The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2019 aims to prevent government shutdowns by establishing automatic continuing appropriations if regular appropriations bills aren't enacted before the start of a fiscal year. It also sets rules to limit government operations during such periods, including restricting official travel and legislative activity. Specifically, the bill provides for continued funding at the previous year's level if regular appropriations are not in place, and imposes restrictions on travel and legislative procedures when a shutdown is imminent.
