For example, the CR includes exceptions for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC);Small Business Administration loans;the Disaster Relief Fund; the Indian Health Service; the Department of Justice; andwildfire suppression activities.In addition, the bill extends several expiring authorizations, including authorities and programs related to agriculture, flood insurance,cybersecurity,surface transportation, veterans benefits, housing,defense production, andtrade preferences for Haiti and certain countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The bill also includes provisions that temporarily prohibit the implementation of a regulation that revises guidance for federal financial assistance,delay the implementation of certain changes to the statutory definition of hemp,extend the freeze on cost-of-living adjustments for Members of Congress and limits on pay increases for the Vice President and certain senior political appointees, andprovide death gratuities to beneficiaries of two Members of Congress who died while in office.
