On Friday, the bill passed the House by a vote of 366-34.

The bill would extend government funding through March.

More than $100 million in relief funds will be sent to farmers affected by Hurricane Helen in September and victims of natural disasters.

However, the bill does not include an end to the debt ceiling, which President-elect Donald Trump has advocated.

The bill will now go to the Senate.
