Bill > HCRes94

This Concurrent Resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make specific corrections to a previously passed bill, H.R. 3672, which was the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2012. The primary correction involves implementing an across-the-board reduction of 1.83% to discretionary spending for the fiscal year 2012, meaning money allocated for non-essential government operations. However, this reduction has notable exceptions, excluding funds for the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), as well as any money designated for disaster relief or for Overseas Contingency Operations, which refers to funding for military operations abroad, often related to the Global War on Terrorism. Additionally, the resolution mandates that the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a key executive branch agency that oversees federal budgeting, must provide a detailed report specifying exactly which accounts and how much money is being rescinded under this provision.
