A bill to amend the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to establish certain procedures for consideration of appropriation bills, and for other purposes.

This bill changes the rules Congress uses to consider yearly spending (appropriation) bills. In the Senate, appropriation bills would be considered under the same procedures used for the annual budget resolution, and debate on each annual appropriation bill, including amendments and related motions, would be limited to 20 hours. In the House of Representatives, the House could not take up a plan to adjourn for more than three days in July until it has passed spending bills covering all Appropriations subcommittees for the next fiscal year. The chair of the House Appropriations Committee would keep the Speaker informed of changes in which subcommittees handle which areas.
