A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.
S.Con.Res. 33 · Senate resolution Economics and Public Finance
A Republican resolution with no cosponsors
Last activity — On agreeing to the resolution Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 215 - 211, 1 Present (Roll no. 143). (text: CR H3147-3146)
Passed both chambers, not yet sent to the President
Both the House and the Senate have passed it, though not necessarily the same text.
If the two chambers passed identical wording, the final copy is being prepared for the President. If they did not, one chamber must accept the other's version or the two negotiate a single one — nothing goes to the President until the text is identical.
Its path through Congress
A concurrent resolution is how the Senate and the House settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.
What this bill would do
This concurrent resolution establishes the budget framework for fiscal years 2026 through 2035. It sets recommended levels for federal revenues, new budget authority, outlays, deficits, and public debt. The resolution also outlines specific budgetary levels for major functional categories, such as National Defense and Social Security. Additionally, it provides instructions for reconciliation processes in both the House and the Senate. Finally, it establishes various reserve funds and rules for budgetary enforcement and adjustments.
