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 proposes amendments to the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, aiming to streamline the legislative process for annual appropriation bills. It introduces specific procedural changes for both chambers of Congress to encourage timely passage of these critical funding measures. In the Senate, the bill mandates that the consideration of appropriation bills will follow the same procedures as concurrent resolutions on the budget. Crucially, it imposes a strict time limit, capping debate on any annual appropriation bill, including all amendments and motions, to not more than 20 hours . This provision seeks to prevent prolonged delays in the Senate's approval process. For the House of Representatives, the legislation establishes a new rule regarding summer recesses. It prohibits the House from considering any resolution for an adjournment period exceeding three calendar days during the month of July. This restriction remains in effect until the House has successfully approved all appropriation bills providing new budget authority under the jurisdiction of its Appropriations Committee subcommittees for the fiscal year beginning October 1st. The Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee is tasked with advising the Speaker on any jurisdictional changes among subcommittees to ensure compliance.
