The bill, passed by both the House and Senate last week, would fund the government through September 2015, with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security. DHS is funded through late February.

Senators on both sides of the aisle saw problems with the bill, but the majority passed it in order to keep the government funded and avoid a shutdown situation similar to 2013.
