Bill > HCR32

This resolution urges the United States Congress to adopt a zero-based budgeting process, which differs from traditional budgeting where agencies start with the previous year's budget and make adjustments. Instead, zero-based budgeting requires each agency to justify all its funding requests from scratch, starting from zero, to ensure that every dollar spent is necessary for achieving the agency's objectives and mission in the most cost-effective way, potentially involving ranking programs by priority. The resolution highlights that this approach can help re-evaluate federal programs, improve fiscal responsibility, and reduce waste and fraud, referencing existing legislation, S. 181, in the 119th Congress that aims to implement this process for federal agencies.
