The concurrent resolution sets forth the congressional budget for fiscal year 2026 and establishes appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035. It provides detailed projections for federal revenues, new budget authority, total budget outlays, and the national deficit over this ten-year period. Notably, the resolution projects a significant reduction in the deficit, leading to projected surpluses from fiscal year 2030 onwards. The resolution also specifies the appropriate levels of public debt and debt held by the public for each fiscal year. Furthermore, it breaks down new budget authority and outlays across various major functional categories, including National Defense , Health , Medicare , Social Security , and Net Interest . A significant category, "New Efficiencies, Consolidations, and Other Savings," indicates planned reductions in budget authority and outlays. Two reserve funds are established: one for deficit reduction through efficiencies, consolidations, and other savings, and another related to health savings accounts . These funds allow the Senate Budget Committee Chairman to adjust budgetary allocations for qualifying legislation that reduces the deficit or pertains to HSAs. Title III of the resolution introduces several modifications to the Senate's budget process. It mandates a two-thirds supermajority vote in the Senate to waive certain budget-related points of order or to sustain an appeal of the Chair's ruling on such points. This title also defines emergency legislation , requiring a two-thirds vote for its designation and exempting it from specific budget enforcement rules, provided it meets strict criteria such as being necessary, sudden, urgent, unforeseen, and temporary. New points of order are created against legislation that would exceed established budget allocations or aggregates, or that appropriates amounts within more than three suballocations. The resolution also requires the Comptroller General to identify potential duplication or overlap in federal programs created by new legislation, with this information to be included in Congressional Budget Office cost estimates. Additionally, CBO cost estimates must now specify the percentage of estimated cost within each budget function. The resolution includes a Sense of the Senate regarding the treatment of legislation that reduces appropriations levels to achieve savings, clarifying its impact on reconciliation bills. It also prohibits preemptive waivers of budget points of order, ensuring that such waivers are only considered after a specific point of order has been raised. These provisions are adopted as an exercise of the Senate's rulemaking power, aiming to strengthen fiscal discipline and transparency.
