This is fine, and as a federal employee I welcome this bill.
However, what really needs to happen is Congress must figure out how to pass a budget through regular order, which hasn't happened since the Bush administration. Then perhaps we wouldn't have these nonsense "crisis" every October.

If the Congress would do their job on time, and be done before the start of the calendar FY. year.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint if memory serves, the last time a budget passed in regular order, not a continuing resolution, was 2006.
The whole budget completed on time has happened only four times in US history - 1977, 89, 95, and 97.

I'd like to see legislation that requires an automatic recall if Congress cannot pass the next year's budget and place it on the President's desk not later than 30 days prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year.
