Let Your Voice be Heard by Congress; 5 Minute Survey
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released a draft budget resolution to provide for consideration of a national security, immigration, and energy spending package.
The Senate Budget Committee is expected to consider the budget resolution on Wednesday, February 12 and Thursday, February 13.
The resolution contains the below reconciliation instructions organized by committee. Notably, the draft Senate budget resolution does not include instructions to committees to propose tax or debt limit legislation. If agreed to by both chambers, committees are instructed to report their deficit reduction and spending recommendations to the House and Senate Budget Committees by March 7.
Under the budget reconciliation process, the House and Senate must pass identical budget resolutions prior to consideration of reconciliation legislation. The Senate draft resolution may face opposition from House Republican leadership and other members, who continue to negotiate their own budget resolution, reported to be announced next week. Notably, the Senate resolution would initiate the budget reconciliation process for fiscal year (FY) 2025, which would allow for the consideration of a second reconciliation package focused on tax under FY 2026.
This two-bill strategy supported by Chairman Graham and Senate Republicans is at odds with House Republicans’ preferred strategy to enact one reconciliation package focused on tax and spending legislation. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether the House can advance either a House- or Senate-led budget resolution due to pressure from conservative Republicans to secure significant budget cuts.
