On May 11, 2022, the House of Representatives voted to pass H.R. 1437, a short-term funding measure known as a "continuing resolution." The passage of this bill prevented a partial government shutdown by extending current federal funding levels and providing lawmakers with more time to negotiate a long-term budget. The bill primarily serves as a temporary bridge for government operations, ensuring that federal agencies, national parks, and military programs remain funded and functional. In addition to maintaining general government spending, this specific legislation included extensions for several expiring federal programs and adjusted funding for specific emergency needs. The vote passed with broad bipartisan support, meeting the two-thirds majority requirement for an expedited "suspension of the rules" procedure. While all voting Democrats supported the measure, the Republican caucus was split, with 122 members voting in favor and 81 voting against.
