Antitrust Law Daily Wrap Up, STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVES: Special briefing provides details on partial government shutdown, (Oct 10, 2013)

The partial government shutdown is nearing the end of its second week with no sign of resolution. Since October 1, when funding under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (P.L. 113-6) ran out, most non-essential government employees—initially about 800,000—have been furloughed. Many other federal employees are on the job, but not collecting a pay check.

Congress and the Obama Administration have been unable to reach an agreement on a continuing resolution to temporarily fund all federal government functions. The debate over funding the government now includes the necessity of raising the federal debt ceiling in the coming weeks to prevent the federal government from defaulting on its debts.

Wolters Kluwer Law & Business has prepared a special briefing detailing which government functions are ongoing and which have been suspended during this lapse in funding. The briefing includes links to government websites to make it easier to check on the day-to-day status of a given department or agency.

This briefing supplements the specialized coverage of health, employment, securities, products liability, insurance, antitrust, banking, and intellectual property provided each day by Wolters Kluwer Daily Reporting Suite.
