Plain-language change summary

The amended text includes a provision that clarifies the definition of "employee" concerning appropriations and obligations of the Department of Defense. Additionally, it ratifies and approves all obligations incurred during lapses in appropriations for activities aimed at protecting life and property and orderly termination of Government functions. This matters because it establishes a framework for handling employee statuses and financial obligations during funding gaps, ensuring essential operations can continue.
