A 'minibus' is a package that combines a small number of appropriations bills and is a smaller version of an 'omnibus' government funding bill, with an omnibus typically being a large end-of-year funding package.

The United States Congress can pass individual appropriations bills that fund specific parts of the federal government (for example, food assistance programs, veterans programs, and the legislative branch) while extending or delaying funding for other areas.
