Making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2016, and for other purposes.

This joint resolution amends the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016 to extend the continuing FY2016 appropriations for federal agencies at the current annual rate until the earlier of midnight on December 16, 2015, or enactment of FY2016 appropriations legislation. The joint resolution prevents a government shutdown when funding under current law expires on December 11, 2015.
