You seem to have set up something that you can search pretty regularly. I was going through the 1,600-page document looking to see if the restrictions on spending ANY funds on building a border wall extended beyond September 2017. But, given my limited time available, couldn’t find that. If you get a chance can you check to see if that PROHIBITION in the legislation is “open ended”?
I think that there are a lot of booby traps and snares for President Trump in this bill. For example, on the bottom of page 603 (Section 208a), I saw this:
SEC. 208. (a) Beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall not—
(1) establish, collect, or otherwise impose any new border crossing fee on individuals crossing the Southern border or the Northern border at a land port of entry; or
(2) conduct any study relating to the imposition of a border crossing fee.
(b) In this section, the term ‘‘border crossing fee’’ means a fee that every pedestrian, cyclist, and driver and passenger of a private motor vehicle is required to pay for the privilege of crossing the Southern border or the Northern border at a land port of entry.
This section has a beginning date (Date of Enactment) but no ending date so it goes on past September 30th. This is not needed in a continuing resolution but, as best as I can tell, means Congress is TAKING AWAY ONE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CHIPS THAT HE COULD PLAY IF MEXICO DOES SOMETHING SIMILAR. If he signs this bill into law, Trump will be forbidden to take a similar measure if Mexico sets up a border crossing fee for Americans entering Mexico. MY INTERPRETATION IS THAT OUR FRIGGIN’ CONGRESS IS RUNNING INTERFERENCE FOR MEXICO. Bastards!!
Here’s the link for the details that I searched in this MONSTROSITY.

I don’t know how to interpret “how much” but it looks like it’s thru 09/30/2021

The House took up the Senate amendments yesterday.
Not sure if I’m reading this right, but it Funds the wall; defunds Planned Parenthood; and Restricts BLM from buying property.
