The time covered includes the period of the lapse
What the document says“For the purposes of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (division A of Public Law 119-37), the time covered by such division shall be considered to include the period which began on or about January 31, 2026, during which there occurred a lapse in appropriations.”
Section 102 of division H provides that the time covered by the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 is considered to include the period beginning on or about January 31, 2026, during which there was a lapse in appropriations.
What the document actually says“For the purposes of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (division A of Public Law 119-37), the time covered by such division shall be considered to include the period which began on or about January 31, 2026, during which there occurred a lapse in appropriations.”
Treat the stopgap law as covering the days that started on or about January 31, 2026. In those days the money had run out.
When funding runs out, that gap is called a lapse. This part folds the gap into the time the stopgap law covers.
