On Tuesday, we discussed Congress’s passage of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, nicknamed CRomnibus in the waning days of the 2014 legislative session. The omnibus spending bill avoided another government shutdown and funded most federal agencies (save for the Department of Homeland Security) through the end of the federal government’s fiscal year on September 30, 2015. As we discussed, the DOL—which earned funding increases across the board—and the trucking industry—which earned a temporary reprieve from maximum hours-of-service regulations—both came out big winners. However, we note that the insurance industry also benefitted from a provision tucked into the DOL appropriations in CRomnibus.
