Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to subject certain direct spending programs to annual appropriations, and for other purposes. 1
AI Summary
This bill, the Mandatory Spending Control and Accountability Act, would amend the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to subject certain direct spending programs (i.e., programs that receive mandatory funding rather than being subject to annual appropriations) to the annual appropriations process starting in fiscal year 2021. The bill defines "direct spending programs" broadly, but excludes Social Security, Medicare, veterans' programs, and TRICARE. The bill also requires the President's budget submission to include information necessary for accurately appropriating funds for these programs and recommendations on legislative changes to bring spending on these programs to a sustainable basis.
