Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024 and Other Extensions Act (HR 5860) – This last-minute continuing resolution (CR) authorizes fiscal year 2024 appropriations to federal agencies through Nov. 17, as well as emergency funding for disaster relief.

Ukraine Security Assistance and Oversight Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 (HR 6592) – This act provides supplemental appropriations to the Department of Defense (DOD) for assistance to Ukraine; it also authorizes an Office of the Special Inspector General for Ukraine Assistance. This funding is designed to aid and equip military and national security forces to help fight the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It further replenishes the U.S. military inventory with weapons or defense systems that have already been provided to Ukraine. The Special Inspector General for Ukraine Assistance will conduct audits to prevent and detect waste, fraud, and abuse of the bill’s funding. The legislation was introduced by Rep.

While the bill passed in the House on Sept. 28 and is currently under consideration in the Senate, President Biden has indicated he would veto the bill because it rescinds a previously agreed-upon budget negotiated by the Speaker of the House last May.
Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act (S 294) – This bill would require the Securities and Exchange Commission to report on issues encountered by rural-area small businesses. Moreover, it would amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to extend additional capital for small businesses in rural areas. The legislation was introduced by Sen.
