It also provides for the deferral of federal income taxes and student loan payments during a shutdown. </p> <p>The Department of Justice may commence a civil action against any person who engages in (1) a pattern or practice of violating the requirements of this bill, or (2) a violation that raises an issue of significant public importance.
