Heading for a Shutdown? Analyzing Congressional Action This Fall

As Congress returns to Washington after summer recess, lawmakers have a number of items on their agenda – most importantly finalizing negotiations on how to fund the government. With negotiations at a standstill, should business be preparing for another shutdown?

Join Bloomberg Government’s legislative analysts on September 17 for a comprehensive webinar assessing the outlook for congressional action this fall.

Topics Include:

The Likelihood of Another Shutdown – Learn where negotiations stand between key players on government funding. Will inaction in Congress force the government to shut down again?
The Issues At Play – Hear which issues could affect negotiations on an omnibus spending bill, including the debt ceiling and policy riders.
Ryan-Murray…The Sequel? – Bipartisanship might not be a dirty word after all. Learn if another bipartisan agreement to adjust budget caps could be in the works.
Other Deadlines To Watch – Stay up-to-date on the other major issues at play in Congress this fall, including the National Defense Authorization Act, the highway bill, tax extenders, as well as cybersecurity and energy legislation.
