It is reported that the bill provides funding for each agency under the Department of Homeland Security at current levels until May 22, which is the latest attempt to end the partial government shutdown that began on February 14. The bill passed the House with 213 votes in favor and 203 votes against, with three Democratic representatives voting in favor, the rest being Republican representatives.
