inserting ``February 15, 2019''; and
(2) by adding after section 136 the following:
``Sec. 137. Amounts made available in this Act for personnel pay,
allowances, and benefits in each department and agency shall be
available for obligations incurred pursuant to subsection (c) of
section 1341 of title 31, United States Code.
``Sec. 138. All obligations incurred and in anticipation of the
appropriations made and authority granted by this Act for the purposes
of maintaining the essential level of activity to protect life and
property and bringing about orderly termination of Government function,
and for purposes as otherwise authorized by law, are hereby ratified
and approved if otherwise in accord with the provisions of this Act.
``Sec. 139. (a) If a State (or another Federal grantee) used State
funds (or the grantee's non-Federal funds) to continue carrying out a
Federal program or furloughed State employees (or the grantee's
employees) whose compensation is advanced or reimbursed in whole or in
part by the Federal Government--
``(1) such furloughed employees shall be compensated at their
standard rate of compensation for such period;
``(2) the State (or such other grantee) shall be reimbursed for
expenses that would have been paid by the Federal Government during
such period had appropriations been available, including the cost
of compensating such furloughed employees, together with interest
thereon calculated under section 6503(d) of title 31, United States
Code; and
``(3) the State (or such other grantee) may use funds available
to the State (or the grantee) under such Federal program to
reimburse such State (or the grantee), together with interest
thereon calculated under section 6503(d) of title 31, United States
Code.
``(b) For purposes of this section, the term `State' and the term
`grantee' shall have the meaning as such term is defined under the
applicable Federal program under subsection (a). In addition, `to
continue carrying out a Federal program' means the continued
performance by a State or other Federal grantee, during the period of a
lapse in appropriations, of a Federal program that the State or such
other grantee had been carrying out prior to the period of the lapse in
appropriations.
``(c) The authority under this section applies with respect to any
period in fiscal year 2019 (not limited to periods beginning or ending
after the date of the enactment of this Act) during which there occurs
a lapse in appropriations with respect to any department or agency of
the Federal Government which, but for such lapse in appropriations,
would have paid, or made reimbursement relating to, any of the expenses
referred to in this section with respect to the program involved.
Payments and reimbursements under this authority shall be made only to
the extent and in amounts provided in advance in appropriations Acts.

Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 and the timetable in
section 254(a) of such Act, the final sequestration report for fiscal
year 2019 pursuant to section 254(f)(1) of such Act and any order for
fiscal year 2019 pursuant to section 254(f)(5) of such Act shall be
issued, for the Congressional Budget Office, 10 days after the date
specified in section 105(3), and for the Office of Management and
Budget, 15 days after the date specified in section 105(3).
``Sec. 141. Section 319L(e)(1)(A) of the Public Health Service Act
(42 U.S.C. 247d-7e(e)(1)(A)) shall continue in effect through the date
specified in section 105(3) of this Act.

through the date specified in section 105(3) of this Act.''.

occurred a lapse in appropriations.
Sec. 103. Subsection (c)(2) of section 1341 of title 31, United
States Code, is amended by inserting ``, and subject to the enactment
of appropriations Acts ending the lapse'' before the period.
Sec. 104. For the purposes of the annual report issued pursuant to
section 5 of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (2 U.S.C. 934)
