Congress would create one annual budget bill for all government spending and revenue.
This bill would change how Congress creates the federal budget. It would require all government spending and revenue to be put into a single "annual budget Act" each year, instead of separate bills. This aims to make the budget process more complete and help address growing national debt.
Today, Congress uses a fragmented budget process, often passing separate spending bills late and not reviewing all federal spending and revenue together. This bill would change that by requiring Congress to create one single "annual budget Act" each year that includes all federal spending and revenue. This new process would involve all congressional committees and follow a strict timetable, with the House facing adjournment restrictions if it doesn't approve the budget by July.
