The U.S. Congress passed the $1.1 trillion Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 appropriations spending package (H.R. 83) the week of December 7, 2014, just barely avoiding another government shutdown. The bill, being referred to as the CRomnibus, will fund most of the U.S. government through the end of FY 2015, with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which is funded on a continuing resolution through February 27, 2015, to allow for the new Congress to consider actions concerning the immigration order.
