The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2025 is designed to ensure that government operations continue smoothly during funding lapses. Its main goal is to establish automatic continuing appropriations, allowing federal programs to operate without interruption even if new funding legislation has not been passed. The act introduces automatic appropriations that provide necessary funding for a period of 14 days based on the previous fiscal year's funding levels in the event of a funding lapse. If the lapse persists, this period can be extended in 14-day increments.
