Senators voted on Friday to pass legislation to prevent cuts to D.C.’s local budget after city officials warned the District faces a $1 billion hit under a stopgap government funding bill approved by the Senate moments earlier.The bill, which allows the District to continue operating at its adopted fiscal year 2025 budget, passed by voice vote.“This legislation will make sure that we take care of the residents of the district. It will support law enforcement and firefighters and teachers and basic city services,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) said ahead of the vote.“This legislation is very good news for the residents of the District of Columbia. I am happy we are passing this bill today.”Schumer’s office said the vote will override legislation that funded the government into September largely under fiscal year 2024, but left out language allowing D.C. to operate at 2025 spending levels the city adopted last year.
The bill would still need to be passed by the House and signed into law by President Trump.
