Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (H.R. 133) is a $2.3 trillion[1] spending bill that combines $900 billion in stimulus relief for the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States with a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill for the 2021 federal fiscal year (combining 12 separate annual appropriations bills) and prevents a government shutdown.[2][3][4] The bill is one of the largest spending measures ever enacted, surpassing the $2.2 trillion CARES Act, enacted in March 2020.[1] The legislation is the first bill to address the pandemic since April 2020.[5] According to the Senate Historical Office, at 5,593 pages, the legislation is the longest bill ever passed by Congress.[6]
The bill was passed by both houses of Congress on December 21, 2020, with large bipartisan majorities in support. The bill was the product of weeks of intense negotiations and compromise between Democrats and Republicans during the lame-duck session.[7][8][9][10] After initially criticizing the bill, President Donald Trump signed it into law on December 27.[11][12][13]
