AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would limit how much federal executive agencies can spend in the last two months of each fiscal year. During each of those two months, an agency could not obligate more discretionary funds than its average monthly amount from the previous 10 months. Within 60 days after each fiscal year ends, each agency would have to send Congress an itemized list of its discretionary spending during those last two months and post it on a public website. The limit would not apply to spending on national security-related activities or disaster relief.
