Today, Congressman Bob Latta (OH-5) released the following statement after voting in favor of the funding resolution to keep the federal government open until November 21, 2025: 

“Today, I voted to keep our government open and serving the American people while supporting efforts to return Congress to regular funding procedures. This short-term, clean funding resolution prevents harmful disruptions to our national security and ensures that vital federal programs remain open for Northern Ohioans and Americans across the country. This funding resolution also includes my OMUFA Act, which improves access to over-the-counter medicines. With today’s passage of this funding resolution, we can now move forward on fiscal year 2026 appropriations negotiations without disrupting any government programs.”   

NOTE: Included in this Continuing Resolution is Congressman Latta’s H.R. 4273 Over-the-Counter Monograph Drug User Fee Amendments (OMUFA) Act, a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the Over-the-Counter Monograph User Fee program at the Food and Drug Administration that improves access to over-the-counter medicines and opens the program up to innovation.
