Congressional Budget Resolutions:
Selected Statistics and Information Guide
Summary
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Titles I-IX of P.L. 93-344, 88 Stat. 297-
332), as amended, establishes the concurrent resolution on the budget as the
centerpiece of the congressional budget process. The annual budget resolution is an
agreement between the House and Senate on a budget plan for the upcoming fiscal
year and at least the following four fiscal years. As a concurrent resolution, it is not
presented to the President for his signature and thus does not become law. The
budget resolution, however, provides the framework for subsequent legislative action
on budgetary legislation during each congressional session.
Congress has adopted 37 budget resolutions during the 33 years that the
congressional budget process has been in effect. At least one budget resolution has
been adopted every year except 1998 (for FY1999), 2002 (for FY2003), 2004 (for
FY2005), and 2006 (for FY2007). A second budget resolution was adopted in each
of the first seven years and a third budget resolution was adopted in one year (for
FY1977). Since 1982, Congress has adopted only one budget resolution for each
fiscal year. Congress initially was required to cover only the upcoming fiscal year
in the budget resolution, but over the years Congress has expanded this time frame.
Currently, the budget resolution must include at least five fiscal years.
The budget resolution may include reconciliation directives, instructing one or
more committees to recommend legislative changes to meet the direct spending and
revenue levels included in the budget resolution. In the past 33 years, Congress
included reconciliation directives in 20 budget resolutions. Pursuant to these
directives, 19 reconciliation measures have been enacted. On four occasions (in 1982,

1986, 1997, and 2006), Congress adopted two reconciliation measures in one year.

Four reconciliation measures have been vetoed, in 1975, 1995, 1999, and 2000.
During the past 33 years, the House has considered and adopted fewer
amendments to the budget resolution than the Senate. The House has considered, on
average, six amendments per budget resolution. For more than two decades, the
House has considered the budget resolutions under special rules that generally have
made in order only amendments in the nature of a substitute. In all but one year, the
House has rejected all such amendments. In contrast, the Senate has considered, on
average, 44 amendments per budget resolution, adopting, on average, 22 of these.
Congress originally was required to complete action on the budget resolution by
May 15 of each year; this deadline was changed to April 15 beginning with the
FY1987 budget resolution. The budget resolution deadline has been met only six
times during the past 33 years, most recently in 2003 with the FY2004 budget
resolution. Budget resolutions have been adopted, on average, more than 33 days
after the deadline.
This report will be updated as warranted.

Introduction
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Titles I-IX of P.L. 93-344, 88 Stat. 297-
332), as amended, establishes the concurrent resolution on the budget as the
centerpiece of the congressional budget process. The annual budget resolution is an
agreement between the House and Senate on a budget plan for the upcoming fiscal
year and at least the following four fiscal years. As a concurrent resolution, it is not
presented to the President for his signature and thus does not become law. The
budget resolution, however, provides the framework for subsequent legislative action
on the annual appropriations bills, revenue measures, debt-limit legislation,
reconciliation legislation, and any other budgetary legislation.
This report provides current and historical information on the budget resolution.
It provides a list of the budget resolutions adopted and rejected by Congress since
implementation of the Budget Act, including the U.S. Statutes-at-Large citations and
committee report numbers, and describes their formulation and content. The report
provides a table of selected optional components, a list of reconciliation measures,
and information on the number of years covered by budget resolutions. It also
provides information on the consideration and adoption of budget resolutions,
including an identification of the House special rules that provided for consideration
of budget resolutions; the amendments in the nature of a substitute to the budget
resolution considered in the House; the number and disposition of House and Senate
amendments to budget resolutions; and dates of House and Senate action on budget
resolutions.
Congress has modified the congressional budget process several times since it
was first established in 1974. Appendix A identifies laws and budget resolutions
that modified the procedures and requirements pertaining to the formulation, content,
and consideration of the budget resolution.
As originally enacted, the Budget Act required that Congress adopt two budget
resolutions each year. The first budget resolution, which was to be adopted by May
15, was advisory in nature. The second budget resolution, which was to be adopted
by September 15 (about two weeks before the beginning of the fiscal year), was
binding. The second budget resolution revised or reaffirmed the first budget
resolution by taking into account budget and economic changes in the months since
the first resolution. Additional budget resolutions could be adopted at any time.
The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Title II of
P.L. 99-177, 99 Stat. 1038-1101) eliminated the requirement for a second budget

resolution beginning in FY1987. For several preceding years, for FY1983-FY1986,
Congress did not adopt a second budget resolution, but instead included a provision
in the first budget resolution that made the spending and revenue totals in it binding
automatically as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
During the 33 years that the congressional budget process has been in effect,
Congress has adopted 37 budget resolutions. At least one budget resolution has been
adopted every year except 1998 (for FY1999), 2002 (for FY2003), 2004 (for
FY2005), and 2006 (for FY2007).¹ Congress also adopted a second budget
resolution in seven of the 32 years. In two of these years (1979 for FY1980 and 1981
for FY1982), the House adopted the Senate version of the second budget resolution
rather than adopting its own; no conference report, therefore, was necessary for these
budget resolutions. In 1977, Congress adopted a third budget resolution for FY1977,
further revising the previous first and second budget resolutions for FY1977.
Table 1 lists all budget resolutions adopted by Congress, with the House and
Senate votes on initial passage and adoption of the conference report. The U.S.
Statutes-at-Large citations for adopted budget resolutions are listed in Appendix B.
(Although concurrent resolutions such as budget resolutions have no statutory
authority, they are compiled in a special section of the U.S. Statutes-at-Large.)
Appendix C lists the budget resolutions rejected in the House. No budget
resolutions were rejected in the Senate.

¹ In the absence of an agreed-upon budget resolution, the House (for FY1999, FY2003,
FY2005 and FY2007) and Senate (for FY1999, FY2005, and FY2007) each have agreed to
“deeming resolution” provisions for budget enforcement purposes. For further information
on “deeming resolution” provisions, see CRS Report RL31443, The “Deeming Resolution”:
A Budget Enforcement Tool, by Robert Keith.

Formulation and Content of the Budget Resolution
Formulation of the Budget Resolution
Following the submission of the President’s budget in January or February,
Congress begins formulating its budget resolution. The House and Senate Budget
Committees are responsible for developing and reporting the budget resolution.
Within six weeks after the President’s budget submission, each House and
Senate committee is required to submit its “views and estimates” relating to budget
matters under their jurisdiction to their respective Budget Committee (Section 301(d)
of the Budget Act). These views and estimates, often submitted in the form of a
letter to the chair and ranking Member of the Budget Committee, typically include
comments on the President’s budget proposals and estimates of the budgetary impact
of any legislation likely to be considered during the current session of Congress. The
Budget Committees are not bound by these recommendations. The views and
estimates often are printed in the committee report accompanying the resolution in
the Senate or compiled in a separate committee print in the House.
The budget resolution was designed to provide a framework to make budget
decisions, leaving specific program determinations to the Appropriations Committees
and other committees with spending and revenue jurisdiction. In many instances,
however, particular program changes are considered when formulating the budget
resolution. Program assumptions are sometimes referred to in the reports of the
Budget Committees or may be discussed during floor action. Although these
program changes are not binding, committees may be strongly influenced by these
recommendations when formulating appropriations bills, reconciliation measures, or
other budgetary legislation.
Appendix D provides a list of the House, Senate, and conference reports to the
first budget resolutions adopted by Congress each year.
Content of the Budget Resolution
Section 301(a) of the Budget Act requires that the budget resolution include the
following matters for the upcoming fiscal year and at least the ensuing four fiscal
years:
^!aggregate levels of new budget authority, outlays, the budget surplus
or deficit, and the public debt;
^!aggregate levels of federal revenues and the amount, if any, by
which the aggregate levels of federal revenues should be increased
or decreased by legislative action;
^!amounts of new budget authority and outlays for each of the major
functional categories; and

^!for purposes of Senate enforcement procedures, Social Security
outlays and revenues (although these amounts are not included in the
budget surplus or deficit totals due to their off-budget status).
In addition to the content required by the Budget Act, Section 301(b) lists
several other matters that may be included in the budget resolution. Appendix E
provides a table indicating selected components included in first budget resolutions
for FY1976-FY2008.
The most important of the optional matters is the inclusion of reconciliation
directives provided by Section 310 of the Budget Act. Budget reconciliation is an
optional two-step process Congress may use to bring direct spending, revenue, and²
debt-limit levels into compliance with those set forth in budget resolutions. In order
to accomplish this, Congress first includes reconciliation directives in a budget
resolution directing one or more committees in each chamber to recommend changes
in statute to achieve the levels of direct spending, revenues, debt limit, or a
combination thereof, agreed to in the budget resolution. The legislative language
recommended by committees then is packaged “without any substantive revision”
into one or more reconciliation bills, as set forth in the budget resolution, by the
House and Senate Budget Committees. In some instances, a committee may be
required to report its legislative recommendations directly to its chamber.
Once the Budget Committees, or individual committees if so directed, report
reconciliation legislation to their respective chambers, consideration is governed by³
special procedures. These special rules serve to limit what may be included in
reconciliation legislation, to prohibit certain amendments, and to encourage its
completion in a timely fashion.
During the 33-year period since the congressional budget process was
established, Congress has included reconciliation directives to House and Senate⁴
committees in 20 budget resolutions. The directives resulted in the enactment of 19

² For a more detailed discussion of the reconciliation process, see CRS Report RL33030,
The Reconciliation Process: House and Senate Procedures, by Robert Keith and Bill Heniff
Jr.
³ For a brief summary of these procedures, see CRS Report 98-814, Budget Reconciliation
Legislation: Development and Consideration, by Bill Heniff Jr.
⁴ The number (19) of budget resolutions containing reconciliation directives includes the
FY1976 second budget resolution (H.Con.Res. 466). There has been an ongoing
controversy about whether the directive in this budget resolution was a reconciliation
directive as set forth in Section 310 of the Congressional Budget Act. The Senate treated
it as such and considered the resultant legislation (H.R. 5559, as reported by the Senate^th
Finance Committee, 94 Congress) under the reconciliation procedures. The House did not,
however, consider and adopt its version of the resultant legislation as a reconciliation
measure, and thus it presumably did not consider the directive as a reconciliation directive.
See Floyd M. Riddick and Alan S. Frumin, Riddick’s Senate Procedure: Precedents and^st^st
Practices (Rev. ed.), S.Doc. 101-28, 101 Cong., 1 sess. (Washington: GPO, 1992), pp.
622-623. The legislation subsequently was adopted by the Senate and House but was vetoed
by the President. For further information on these directives, see (1) CRS Congressional
(continued...)

reconciliation measures. On four occasions (in 1982, 1986, 1997, and 2006),
Congress adopted two reconciliation measures in one year. Four reconciliation
measures have been vetoed, in 1975, 1995, 1999, and 2000. Appendix F lists the
budget resolutions that contained reconciliation directives and the associated
reconciliation acts.
Beginning with the FY1981 budget resolution, Congress also included amounts
for federal credit activities. The 1985 Balanced Budget Act permanently required the
inclusion of aggregate and functional levels of direct loan obligations and primary
loan guarantee commitments in budget resolutions. The inclusion of federal credit
levels, however, was made optional by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 (Title
X of P.L. 105-33; 111 Stat. 677-712). Of the 27 first budget resolutions adopted by
Congress, 18 budget resolutions included federal credit amounts.
Another optional component of budget resolutions has been the inclusion of
reserve funds. The reserve fund provisions generally provide for the revision of
budget resolution aggregates, functional allocations, and committee allocations if
certain deficit-neutral legislation is enacted or some other condition is met. Over the
last decade, Congress often has included several reserve funds in budget resolutions
(as indicated in Appendix E). For instance, the FY2008 budget resolution
(S.Con.Res. 21, 110^th Congress) included 23 reserve funds.
In recent years, declaratory statements increasingly have been included in budget
resolutions. These nonbinding statements express the sense of Congress, the sense
of the House, or the sense of the Senate on various issues. As indicated in Appendix
E, Congress has included, on average, 22 declaratory statements in the last 11 budget
resolutions (not including budget resolutions for FY1999, FY2003, FY2005, and
FY2007 because Congress did not complete action on these measures) but only, on
average, about two and a half declaratory statements in the first 18 budget
resolutions.
The annual budget resolution also may require a deferred enrollment procedure
(see Section 301(b)(3) of the Budget Act), under which all or certain bills providing
new budget authority or new entitlement authority for the upcoming fiscal year
cannot be enrolled until Congress has completed action on a reconciliation measure
(or, prior to FY1987, a reconciliation measure or the second budget resolution).
Budget resolutions for FY1981, FY1982, FY1983, and FY1984 contained deferred
enrollment provisions.⁵
Lastly, Congress has included several other procedural provisions in budget
resolutions. Under Section 301(b)(4) of the Budget Act, the so-called elastic clause,

Resolutions for FY1976-FY2005, by Bill Heniff Jr.; and (2) CRS Congressional distribution
memorandum, Reconciliation Directives to Senate Committees in Budget Resolutions for
FY1976-FY2005, by Bill Heniff Jr. (both available from the author).
⁵ The FY1983 budget resolution exempted legislation dealing with certain trust funds from
its deferred enrollment provision.

Congress may “set forth such other matters, and require such other procedures,
relating to the budget, as may be appropriate to carry out the purposes of” the
Congressional Budget Act in the budget resolution. The number of procedural
provisions included in budget resolutions is listed in the last column of Appendix E.
Some of these procedural provisions include deferred enrollment; automatic second
budget resolutions; special budgetary treatment of certain activities, such as the sale
of government assets; and more recently, enforcement of a pay-as-you-go
requirement in the Senate, and limits on advance appropriations.
Source of Economic Assumptions Associated
with Budget Levels in the Budget Resolution
The budget levels contained in the budget resolution are developed using a
baseline, which is a projection of revenues and spending under existing law and
assuming no policy changes. There are two baselines commonly used in the federal
budget process: (1) the current services estimates calculated by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB); and (2) the budget baseline projections calculated
by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). These two projections often differ
because they are based upon different sets of economic and technical assumptions,
reflecting different projections of future economic and program performance.
The economic assumptions developed by OMB are published in the Analytical
Perspectives volume of the President’s budget submitted to Congress.⁶ CBO
includes its initial economic assumptions in its annual economic and budget outlook
report published early in the year.⁷ Often, CBO revises these economic assumptions
to reflect new economic data which become available after the publication of this
report. In some years, CBO will revise its economic assumptions in late winter or
early spring and publish them in its analysis of the President’s budget.⁸ In other
years, revised economic assumptions will be included in CBO’s economic and
budget outlook update report published in the summer.
Congress is not required to use the economic assumptions developed by either
OMB or CBO in the budget resolution, but must identify the economic assumptions
upon which the budget levels are based.⁹ The original Budget Act required that only
the House and Senate Committee reports accompanying the budget resolution include
the economic assumptions upon which the spending and revenue levels were based.
The common practice, however, was to extend this to the conference report on the

⁶ For example, see OMB, Budget of the U.S. Government, Fiscal Year 2007, Analytical
Perspectives (Washington: GPO, February 2006), chapter 12, pp. 165-174.
⁷ For example, see CBO, The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2007-2016
(Washington: January 2006), chapter 2, pp. 25-49.
⁸ For example, see CBO, An Analysis of the President’s Budgetary Proposals for Fiscal
Year 2003 (Washington: March 2002), pp. 4-5.
⁹ In addition, Section 301(g)(1) of the Budget Act prohibits the Senate from considering a
budget resolution that contains budget levels based on more than one set of economic
assumptions. This provision was added by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Title I of P.L. 100-119, 99 Stat. 754-788).

budget resolution as well. In 1985, Congress amended the Budget Act to specifically
require that the joint explanatory statement accompanying a conference report on a
budget resolution set forth the common economic assumptions upon which the
statement and conference report are based.¹⁰
Appendix G specifies the source of the economic assumptions used in the first
budget resolutions for FY1976 to FY2008. Of the 29 budget resolutions adopted by
Congress during this period, 17 were based upon economic assumptions developed
by CBO. Usually, these were the assumptions in CBO’s economic and budget
outlook report published early in the year. In four instances, however, Congress used
the economic assumptions that were revised by CBO after the publication of this
report; the budget resolutions for FY1984, FY1985, FY1997, and FY1998 were
based upon revised CBO economic assumptions. On four other occasions, Congress
made adjustments to the CBO economic assumptions; the budget resolutions for
FY1996, FY1997, FY1998, and FY2000 were based upon adjusted CBO economic
assumptions. In the first three, the adjustments were intended to reflect anticipated
revisions to the Consumer Price Index.
In six of the 29 budget resolutions, Congress used the economic assumptions
developed by OMB. Usually, these were the assumptions included in the President’s
budget submitted to Congress early in the year. In two of these budget resolutions,
however, the OMB economic assumptions were adjusted to reflect revisions in
economic data.
In 1982, Congress based the budget levels in the FY1983 budget resolution upon
economic assumptions agreed to by negotiators from Congress and the
Administration during a budget summit.
Finally, the joint explanatory statements accompanying the conference reports
to the first five budget resolutions specified the economic assumptions upon which
the budget levels were based, but did not indicate the source of those assumptions.
Number of Years Covered by the Budget Resolution
Originally, the Budget Act mandated that budget resolutions cover only the
upcoming fiscal year beginning on October 1 (referred to as the budget year). A
desire to use the budget resolution as a tool for budget planning and other factors
prompted Congress to expand this time frame to include the upcoming fiscal year as
well as the two ensuing fiscal years. Congress used the authority provided by the
elastic clause of the Budget Act to adopt three-year budget resolutions for the period
covering the second budget resolution for FY1980 through the FY1986 budget
resolution. The practice of including three fiscal years was formalized by the 1985
Balanced Budget Act.
The Budget Enforcement Act (BEA) of 1990 (Title XIII of P.L. 101-508,
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, 104 Stat. 1388-573-1388 through 630)

¹⁰ Section 301(g)(2) of the Budget Act, as amended by the Balanced Budget and Emergency
Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Title II of P.L. 99-177, 99 Stat. 1038-1101).

temporarily extended to five fiscal years the period the budget resolution is required
to cover. The 1990 BEA provision originally covered five-year periods beginning
in FY1991 and continuing through FY1995; this provision was extended to cover
the FY1996 through FY1998 budget resolutions in 1993 (Title XIV of P.L. 103-66,
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, 107 Stat. 683-685). As an integral part
of Congress’s goal of achieving a balanced budget by FY2002, the FY1996 and
FY1997 budget resolutions covered seven and six fiscal years, respectively. The
Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 (Title X of P.L. 105-33, Balanced Budget Act of
1997, 111 Stat. 677-712) amended the Budget Act to require permanently that a
budget resolution cover the budget year and at least the four ensuing fiscal years.
Appendix H provides information regarding the number of years covered by the
budget resolutions agreed to by Congress.
Congress also may revise budget levels for the current year in the budget
resolution, pursuant to Section 304 of the Budget Act. Congress has adopted 14 first
budget resolutions that revised current-year budget levels.
Consideration and Adoption of
the Budget Resolution
Floor consideration of the budget resolution differs in the House and Senate.
Section 305 of the Budget Act sets forth special procedures for the consideration of
the budget resolution, generally to expedite its consideration. The House, however,
regularly adopts a special rule, a simple House resolution, setting forth the terms for
consideration of the measure. In particular, special rules have been used for more
than a decade to limit the offering of amendments to a few major substitutes.
Appendix I lists the special rules that provided for the consideration of budget
resolutions in the House.
In contrast, floor consideration in the Senate is governed by the procedures set
forth in the Congressional Budget Act. The procedures generally limit debate and¹¹
prohibit certain amendments and motions.
Amendments to the Budget Resolution
The House has considered, on average, six amendments per budget resolution.¹²
The largest number of amendments considered was 45 in 1979; the largest number
agreed to was 11 in 1979 (the first FY1983 budget resolution also was amended 11
times, but it subsequently was rejected). Appendix J identifies the number of
accepted and rejected amendments to budget resolutions considered in the House.

¹¹ For a discussion of these procedures, see CRS Report 98-511, Consideration of the Budget
Resolution, by Bill Heniff Jr.
¹² These averages, as well as the averages related to Senate amendments, derive from all
first budget resolutions considered and adopted on the House or Senate floor. That is, the
averages do not include amendments to budget resolutions that subsequently were rejected.

The amending activity in the House during the last several years is in marked contrast
to the early years of the congressional budget process. During the first eight years,
the House considered, on average, more than 13 amendments per budget resolution,
agreeing to, on average, three of these. In contrast, during the past 25 years, the
House has considered very few amendments to budget resolutions, averaging almost
four per budget resolution, and agreeing to even fewer of these. Of the 89
amendments considered by the House during this time period, only four were
adopted. Since 1992, the House has rejected all amendments.
Contributing to this trend, the House special rule typically has allowed for
consideration of only amendments in the nature of a substitute to the budget
resolution. For example, between 1983 and 2007 (for the FY1984-FY2008 budget
resolutions), 84 out of the 89 amendments to the budget resolution made in order by
the special rule were amendments in the nature of a substitute. Only one of these 84
amendments in the nature of a substitute was agreed to; that one contained the budget
resolution text recommended by the House Budget Committee offered by its chair at
the time, Representative William H. Gray III (PA). Appendix K lists the
amendments in the nature of a substitute to the budget resolution made in order by
the special rule.
Unlike the House, which has no reporting deadline for its budget committee to
report a budget resolution, the Senate has an April 1 reporting deadline for the budget¹³
resolution. In addition, the terms of debate and the consideration of amendments
are not structured by a special rule, as in the House, but instead are governed by the
procedures set forth in Section 305(b) of the Budget Act. Typically, a larger number
of amendments is considered, consisting of substitute amendments as well as
amendments that address specific issues.
During the period between 1975 and 2007, the Senate considered, on average,
about 42 amendments per budget resolution, agreeing to, on average, 22 of these.¹⁴
The largest number of amendments considered was 106 in 1998; the largest number
agreed to was 57 in 1998 and 1999. Appendix L identifies the number of
amendments accepted, rejected, withdrawn, and ruled out-of-order during Senate
consideration of budget resolutions. In contrast to the House, the number of
amendments considered by the Senate has increased over the last decade. For the last
14 budget resolutions considered on the floor for example, the Senate considered, on
average, 72 amendments per budget resolution, agreeing to, on average, about 43 of
these. Amendments have been agreed to in the Senate at a much higher rate
compared to the House as well. For instance, in 10 of the past 14 years in which a
budget resolution was considered on the floor, the success rate for amendments has
equaled or exceeded 60%.

¹³ For further information, see CRS Report RS20541, Congressional Budget Resolutions:
Reporting Deadline in the Senate, by Robert Keith.
¹⁴ This average does not include the FY2003 budget resolution because it was not considered
on the Senate floor.

Timing of Action on the Budget Resolution
Congress is required to complete action on the budget resolution by April 15
each year. Table 2 lists the dates of final adoption of budget resolutions for FY1976-
FY2008. Since 1974, Congress has met the budget resolution deadline only six
times, most recently in 2003 with the FY2004 budget resolution. Under the original
timetable (prior to 1986, the deadline was May 15), Congress adopted the annual
budget resolution on time twice, in 1975 and 1976. After the deadline was changed
to April 15 by the 1985 Balanced Budget Act, Congress has met its deadline four
times, in 1993, 1999, 2000, and 2003. Further, Congress did not adopt a budget
resolution four times (in 1998 for FY1999, in 2002 for FY2003, in 2004 for FY2005,
and in 2006 for FY2007).

In those years in which Congress has adopted a budget resolution (that is, not
including the budget resolutions for FY1999, FY2003, FY2005, and FY2007), it has
adopted the budget resolution an average of over 37 days after the target date. The
FY1991 budget resolution was adopted the latest, on October 9, 1990, or 177 days
after the deadline. The earliest adoption of a budget resolution was for FY1994, on

April 1, 1993, or 14 days before the deadline. Figure 1 illustrates the number of days
before or after the target date the annual budget resolution was adopted. Appendices
M and N provide a list of dates related to the consideration and adoption of the
budget resolution in the House and the Senate, respectively.

applicable maximum deficit amount established in the 1985
Balanced Budget Act.
^!Excluded Social Security from budget totals, except for purposes of
calculating the deficit in order to determine if sequestration is
required. The budget resolution may contain two deficit totals, one
with Social Security, one without.
Budget Enforcement Act (BEA) of 1990 (Title XIII of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990; P.L. 101-508; 104 Stat. 1388-573 through 630;
November 5, 1990)¹⁶
^!Added language to the Budget Act allowing the option to include
pay-as-you-go procedures for the Senate and House in the budget
resolution (Sections 301(b)(7) and 301(b)(8)).
^!Required that the budget resolutions for FY1991-FY1995 cover five
fiscal years. [Current law permanently requires at least five fiscal
years (see BEA of 1997 below).]
^!In the Senate, prohibited the consideration of a reported budget
resolution calling for a reduction in Social Security surpluses.
^!Changed deadline for submitting views and estimates reports from
“on or before February 25 of each year” to “within 6 weeks after the
President submits a budget.”
^!Added language to the Budget Act allowing the option of including
Social Security outlays and revenues in the budget resolution for
purposes of Senate enforcement.
^!In the Senate, created a point of order that prohibits the
consideration of any budget resolution that would exceed any of the
discretionary spending limits. [Initially, this point of order was
added to the Budget Act as a temporary Section (601(b)); the BEA
of 1997 permanently added this point of order to the Budget Act as
Section 312(b) and applied the point of order to any legislation.]
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Title XIV of P.L. 103-66; 107 Stat.

683-685; August 10, 1993)

^!Extended through FY1998 the BEA requirement that budget
resolutions cover five fiscal years.

¹⁶ See out-of-print CRS Report 90-520, Budget Enforcement Act of 1990: Brief Summary,
by Edward Davis and Robert Keith.

Budget Resolution for FY1995 (H.Con.Res. 218; 103rd Congress; May 12,

1994)¹⁷

^!Made permanent a temporary modification found in the budget
resolutions for FY1993 and FY1994, which applied Section 301(i)
to a budget resolution at any stage of consideration. Section 301(i)
of the Budget Act prohibits the Senate from considering any reported
budget resolution that would decrease the excess of Social Security
revenues over Social Security outlays for any of the fiscal years
covered by the resolution, subject to a three-fifths waiver
requirement. This creates a so-called “firewall” to protect Social
Security balances.
Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 (Title X of P.L. 105-33; 111 Stat. 677-712;
August 5, 1997)¹⁸
^!Permanently required the budget resolution to cover at least five
fiscal years.
^!Made optional rather than mandatory the inclusion of total direct
loan obligation and total primary loan guarantee commitment levels
in the budget resolution and the accompanying report.
^!Modified the optional contents of the budget resolution to include
special pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) procedures in the Senate pertaining
to the use of reserve funds.
^!Allowed the Budget Committees to set an alternative deadline for
committees to submit their views and estimates, instead of the usual
deadline of within 6 weeks after the President submits a budget.
^!Applied the Senate point of order against a budget resolution
recommending a decrease in the projected surplus in the Social
Security trust funds to all its legislative stages.
Budget Resolution for FY2000 (H.Con.Res. 68; 106^th Congress; April 15, 1999)
^!Created a point of order that prohibited consideration of a revised
FY2000 or a FY2001 budget resolution setting forth an on-budget
deficit for any fiscal year (i.e., excluding any surplus resulting from
the Social Security trust fund). The provision did not apply if the
deficit for a fiscal year resulted solely from legislation that made
structural programmatic reforms to enhance retirement security.

¹⁷ Although budget resolutions, which are agreed to in the form of a concurrent resolution,
do not have the force of law, they can contain changes in congressional budget procedures.
¹⁸ For more information on changes made by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1997, see CRS
Report 97-931, Budget Enforcement Act of 1997: Summary and Legislative History, by
Robert Keith.

Budget Resolution for FY2001 (H.Con.Res. 290; 106^th Congress; April 13, 2000)
^!Applied the point of order against budget resolutions setting forth an
on-budget deficit for any fiscal year (see FY2000 budget resolution)
to a revised FY2001 or a FY2002 budget resolution. The provision
would not apply if the economy experienced low growth in two
consecutive quarters, or if a declaration of war was in effect.
^!Specified that amendments that contain predominately “precatory”
language, such as sense-of-the-Senate amendments, are not germane,
effectively prohibiting such amendments to budget resolutions and
reconciliation legislation.
Budget Resolution for FY2004 (H.Con.Res. 95; 108^th Congress; April 11, 2003)
^!Extended through September 30, 2008, the three-fifths vote
requirement in the Senate to waive, and to sustain an appeal of a
ruling of the chair on, certain points of order specified in Sections

904(c)(2) and 904(d)(3) of the Budget Act.

Budget Resolution for FY2006 (H.Con.Res. 95; 109^th Congress; April 28, 2005)
^!Extended through September 30, 2010, the three-fifths vote
requirement in the Senate to waive, and to sustain an appeal of a
ruling of the chair on, certain points of order specified in Sections

904(c)(2) and 904(d)(3) of the Budget Act.

Budget Resolution for FY2008 (S.Con.Res. 21; 110^th Congress; May 17, 2007)
^!Extended through September 30, 2017, the three-fifths vote
requirement in the Senate to waive, and to sustain an appeal of a
ruling of the chair on, certain points of order specified in Sections

904(c)(2) and 904(d)(3) of the Budget Act.
