Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2025: Automatic continuing appropriations for federal programs.

The Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2025 aims to prevent government shutdowns by providing automatic continuing appropriations. If an appropriation act for a fiscal year is not enacted and continuing appropriations are not in effect, this bill appropriates funds at a specified rate to continue programs, projects, or activities. Funding is set at 94% of the previous fiscal year's rate or the most recent continuing appropriations law. The bill also includes provisions to reduce funding by 1% every 90 days if the act remains in effect.
