Bill Summary
A BILL To provide for a reauthorizing schedule for unauthorized Federal programs, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Unauthorized Spending Accountability Act of 2021, establishes a recurring three-year budgetary level reduction cycle for any federal program that is unauthorized, meaning its appropriation authority has expired. The bill requires a 10% reduction in the budgetary level for the first year after authorization expires, and a 15% reduction for the second and third years. If a program remains unauthorized after the third year, it will be automatically terminated, though any unobligated funds can still be used. The bill also creates a Spending and Accountability Commission to review direct spending programs and propose offsets to avoid the budgetary level reductions. Additionally, the bill requires the Commission to develop a proposal for a reauthorization schedule for discretionary programs, which would establish a three-year reauthorization cycle.
