Keep Coast Guard running during shutdown
If enacted, the government would keep the U.S. Coast Guard running during a funding lapse. It would provide the money needed for operations for up to 30 days, or until normal funding returns, whichever is sooner. Search and rescue, port security, and patrols would continue during that period. This safeguard would only apply when Coast Guard appropriations lapse.
