Roll Call Vote
A vote that records the individual position of each Member who voted. Such votes occurring on the House floor (by the "yeas and nays" or by "recorded vote") are taken by electronic device. The Senate has no electronic voting system; in such votes, Senators answer "yea" or "nay" as the clerk calls each name aloud. Each vote is compiled by clerks and receives a roll call number (referenced in Congress.gov as a "Record Vote" [Senate] or "Roll no." [House]).

Summary
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act
This bill provides continuing FY2021 appropriations to federal agencies through December 11, 2020, and extends several programs.
It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2021 appropriations bills have not been enacted when FY2021 begins on October 1, 2020.
The CR funds most programs and activities at the FY2020 levels with several exceptions that provide funding flexibility and additional appropriations to various programs.
In addition, the bill extends several authorities and programs, including
- surface transportation programs;
- public health, Medicare, and Medicaid authorities and programs;
- several authorities related to veterans benefits;
- authorities to waive certain requirements for nutrition programs;
- the National Flood Insurance Program;
- the Appalachian Regional Commission;
- the U.S. Parole Commission;
- the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program; and
- several authorities related to immigration.
The bill also includes provisions that
- accelerate reimbursements to the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) for net realized losses to allow the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to continue making certain payments to farmers,
- prohibit USDA from using CCC funds to provide payments or support to fossil fuel refiners and importers,
- expand nutrition assistance programs,
- increase and expand U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services fees for providing premium processing services for certain immigration-related applications, and
- reauthorize a program that provides incentives (e.g., limitations on civil liability) for corporations to self-report antitrust violations to the Department of Justice.
