Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes how Congress writes the federal budget each year. It creates a single "annual budget Act" that would list all federal spending and revenue, combining yearly appropriations with input from every committee that handles spending or taxes. Committees would send spending and revenue line items and proposed law changes to the Budget Committees by May 15, and the House Budget Committee would report the combined bill by June 10. If Congress does not adopt a budget resolution by April 15, baseline levels would apply instead. The House could not take a break of more than three days in July until it passes the annual budget Act.
