The law extends continuing federal funding to December 30, 2022. Agencies keep operating. Paychecks for federal workers and many contractors continue. Programs and services can keep running through that date. This takes effect upon enactment.
The law extends an existing federal moratorium to December 31, 2022. People and organizations covered by that moratorium stay protected until then. The change takes effect upon enactment.
The law extends the special court fee that supports the Domestic Trafficking Victims’ Fund to December 30, 2022. Courts keep collecting the assessment until that date. This keeps money available to help trafficking survivors. The change takes effect upon enactment.
The law extends two market tools through December 30, 2022. The FCC keeps its authority to run spectrum auctions until then. The CFTC can keep using its Customer Protection Fund expenses account through that date. This mainly affects telecom and financial market participants. The change takes effect upon enactment.
The law lengthens a key parole timing reference from 35 years and 46 days to 35 years and 60 days. This can delay some parole-related outcomes by 14 days. It applies as if it were part of the earlier 2023 continuing appropriations law. An earlier conflicting section in that law has no effect.
The law tells budget offices not to count this division’s costs on PAYGO scorecards. It also excludes these effects from some other budget enforcement rules. This changes how the bill is scored, not the services you receive. The change takes effect upon enactment.

The Attorney General must annually assess research supply and report to Congress if shortages occur. - Patients and clinicians gain a safe harbor for state-licensed physicians to discuss potential harms and benefits of marijuana derivatives with patients and guardians. The law also creates a pathway for FDA-approved cannabinoid drugs to move toward commercial production under federal registration.
