Bill > HR9452

This bill, titled the "Budgeting for a Better America Act," aims to reform the budget and appropriations process in the House of Representatives by implementing a biennial budget cycle, meaning Congress would create a budget for two-year periods instead of annually. Key provisions include revising the congressional budget timetable to align with this two-year cycle, requiring concurrent resolutions on the budget to cover a biennium (a two-year period) and project further into the future, and establishing a National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform composed of members appointed by the President and congressional leadership to identify policies for fiscal sustainability. The bill also mandates that the President submit an annual supplemental budget, requires a hearing on the fiscal state of the nation based on audited financial statements, and mandates budget orientation training for new members of Congress. Additionally, it modernizes the House Committee on the Budget by including the chairs and ranking members of the Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, and Appropriations committees as members.
