Congressional Research service report

CRS issued a report on the Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33), including this description of this section:

Section 10104. Amendment to Section 300. The timetable of actions required by the congressional budget process is set forth briefly in Section 300 of the CBA, and the timing of particular actions also is addressed in subsequent sections. Section 13112(a)(5) of the BEA of 1990 amended Section 301(d) of the CBA to change the deadline for submission by House and Senate committees of their annual “views and estimates” reports to the Budget Committees from February 25 to within six weeks after the President submits his budget. The timetable in Section 300 was not modified in 1990 to reflect this change. Accordingly, Section 10104 changes the reporting deadline in the timetable to make it consistent with the requirement in Section 301(d). Also, conforming changes are made in House Rules X and XLVIII. (See the discussion of Section 301(d) of the act, below.)
