Bill > HR8979

This bill, the "No Bias in the Baseline Act," aims to clarify that the budget baseline (a projection of future spending and revenue levels) should be based on current laws and the assumption of continuation of current levels of discretionary appropriations, rather than making adjustments for factors like inflation. Specifically, it amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to specify that the baseline should not be adjusted for inflation or other factors, and it makes conforming amendments to other relevant laws. The goal is to ensure that the budget baseline reflects the current state of the law and spending, without introducing potential biases from such adjustments.
