Federal agencies are set to receive funding through early December. This move aims to prevent a shutdown during a critical period. Lawmakers typically take a break in August, and many want to focus on their campaigns instead of working in the capital.

The Senate is expected to vote on a measure soon, before their traditional August recess. A similar measure has already been passed by the House, but with some differences. Negotiations have been ongoing to determine which exceptions to include.

Further details on the funding deal are available from KSAT 12, a local ABC affiliate. The bill generally maintains current funding levels, but specifics on the exceptions and the negotiation process can be found through the source.
