The spending omnibus, which funds the majority of the government for the remainder of fiscal year 2016, just passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 316 to 113. The vote even included a “yes” vote from Speaker Paul Ryan. Included within the spending omnibus is an effectively-permanent, 75-year renewal of the World Trade Center Health Program and a five-year renewal of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, which will provide the critical health care 9/11 First Responders, IAVA and Congressional sponsors have been strongly advocating for.

The omnibus, with Zadroga included, must now head to the Senate for a vote. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was able to secure Unanimous Consent for the omnibus, which means swift passage with no objections is expected.
