In plain English
This resolution sets a budget plan for the federal government for 2025 and provides a framework for the years through 2034. It tells 11 House committees to write new laws that would either increase or decrease the federal deficit by specified amounts, and it raises the legal limit on federal debt.
If this passes
What would actually change, according to the official CRS summary. No predictions, no opinions.
- Eleven House committees would be instructed to submit legislation by March 27, 2025 that would increase or decrease the deficit over the next 10 years
- Those committees' bills would be considered using expedited procedures in the Senate that prevent filibustering and limit amendments
- If the submitted proposals do not achieve at least $2 trillion in deficit reduction, the maximum deficit increase allowed for the House Ways and Means Committee would be reduced from $4.5 trillion
- The legal limit on how much federal debt the government can hold would be increased by specified amounts
- Budget enforcement procedures would be established to handle adjustments to committee spending allocations and how Social Security Administration and U.S. Postal Service administrative expenses are treated in the budget
