FY09 Spending Bill
Congress Completes Work on 2009 Budget
The Senate on March 10 passed H.R. 1105, an omnibus appropriations bill to fund federal programs for fiscal 2009. The House of Representatives passed the legislation on February 25. President Obama is expected to sign the bill, which will fund federal agencies through September 30. No changes were made in the Senate bill. Most HUD and USDA programs received increases or level funding. (See the tables below.)
The text of H.R. 1105 and an explanatory statement are available at https://thomas.loc.gov/home/approp/app09.html.
