(This measure has not been amended since the House agreed to the Senate amendment with an amendment on January 15, 2014. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 - (Sec. 5) Makes appropriations for FY2014.

(Sec. 6) Declares that each amount designated in this Act for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) shall be available (or rescinded, if applicable) only if the President subsequently so designates all such amounts and transmits the designations to Congress.

(Sec. 7) Declares that if, for FY2014, new budget authority provided in appropriation Acts exceeds the discretionary spending limit for any category set forth in the sequestration requirements of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act due to estimating differences with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), an adjustment to the discretionary spending limit in such category for FY2014 shall be made by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the amount of that excess, but not to exceed 0.2% of the sum of the adjusted discretionary spending limits for all categories for that fiscal year.

(Sec. 8) Space Launch Liability Indemnification Extension Act - Extends through December 31, 2016, the application deadline for licenses with respect to which the Secretary of Transportation (DOT) is required to pay third-party claims in excess of a commercial space launcher's required insurance coverage.

Where this sits in the process
Common questions
Composed from the official record
Where is it in the process, and what happens next?

This bill has been enacted. It is law.

The record's latest action, on January 17, 2014: Became Public Law No: 113-76.

Has anyone actually voted on it?

No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.

A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.

Who is behind it?

LAMAR SMITH (R-TX) introduced it on November 20, 2013, and 3 members have since signed on as cosponsors.

They come from both major parties: 2 Democrats, 1 Republican.

Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.

Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
