The House of Representatives has passed a continuing resolution that extends federal funding through January, effectively ending the recent government shutdown. The shutdown had impacted various sectors, including small businesses across the country.
House Committee on Small Business Chairman Roger Williams (TX-25) commented on the development. “The end of the Democrat Shutdown is welcome news for America’s 36 million small businesses,” said Chairman Williams. “Each day of gridlock cost Main Street lost access to capital, delayed contracts, and weakened confidence. With the U.S. Small Business Administration lending and federal programs back online, entrepreneurs can again focus on growth, hiring, and rebuilding momentum after weeks of Democrat-inflicted uncertainty across Main Street.”
The passage of this resolution means that federal programs supporting small businesses will resume operations after being paused during the shutdown period.
