Budget and Appropriations: Appropriators continue to work dividing up the new funding from the budget deal into new top-line funding allocations for each of the 12 subcommittees so that FY18 funding can be finalized.  At this point, it is unlikely that those allocations will be made public.  Lawmakers have about a month remaining before the current continuing resolution (CR) expires on March 23.

As a reminder, decisions are being made on how this money will be allocated. Now is the time that our field needs your voice! On your personal time, please visit NCSD’s Take Action Center to send a letter to Congress on the need for STD funding!
