The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday approved a $1.7 trillion spending bill for fiscal 2023, sending the measure to President Joe Biden to get signed into law.

The omnibus bill, which the Senate passed Thursday, includes a 10% boost for defense spending and a 6% increase in domestic spending, as well as measures that would automatically enroll workers into 401s and deliver more aid to Ukraine. Congress had been racing to approve the measure before midnight Friday to avoid a partial government shutdown.
