HR 5371, known as the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026, is a legislative measure aimed at ensuring the continued funding of various federal government operations through a continuing resolution. This bill was enacted as Public Law No: 119-37.

It extends funding for the Department of Agriculture, the Legislative Branch, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, ensuring that these agencies can continue their operations without interruption.

The bill does not introduce new funding but rather continues existing financial commitments.

- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which oversees food safety, agricultural research, and rural development.
- The Legislative Branch, which includes funding for Congress and related operations.
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), responsible for providing healthcare and benefits to veterans.
- The Department of Defense (DoD) for military construction projects.
Beneficiaries and Regulatory Impact: The bill benefits federal employees, agricultural producers, veterans, and military personnel by ensuring that essential services and benefits continue without disruption. It also maintains funding for programs that support food assistance and rural development initiatives.
Key Timelines: HR 5371 was passed and signed into law, becoming effective immediately upon enactment. The continuing resolution is intended to bridge the gap until Congress can finalize and pass the full appropriations bills for the fiscal year 2026.
