The U.S. House is set to pass a $1.1 trillion spending bill that includes a banking provision opposed by many Democrats as a giveaway to large institutions.

Current funding for the government ends today, and the measure would finance most of the government through September 2015. The House also plans to pass a short-term spending bill to give the Senate time to vote on the measure and avoid a government shutdown.
