between fiscal year 1977 and fiscal year 2012, congress only passed all twelve regular appropriations bills on time in four years - fiscal years 1977, 1989, 1995, and 1997. every other fiscal year since 1977 has required at least one continuing resolution. for example, in 2013, congress failed to agree on any regular appropriations bills prior to the start of fiscal year 2014. an attempt was made to pass the continuing appropriations resolution, 2014 (h.j.res 59) prior to october 1, but the house and senate could not agree on its provisions, leading to the united states federal government shutdown of 2013. the federal government resumed operations on october 17, 2013 after the passage of a continuing resolution, the continuing appropriations act, 2014, that provided funding until january 15, 2014. on january 15, 2014, congress passed another continuing resolution, making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2014, to provide funding until january 18, 2014. congress finally passed the consolidated appropriations act, 2014, an omnibus appropriations bill, on january 17, 2014 to provide funding for the remainder of fiscal year 2014.
