Committee Print STATEMENT (BBA 2013)
The House Committee on the Budget issued a Committee Print for the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (113th Congress). It included this description:
SUBTITLE B—ESTABLISHING A CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET
Sec. 111. Fiscal year 2014 budget resolution.
Subsection 111(a) establishes a congressional budget for fiscal year 2014. It does so by authorizing the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget, Representative Paul Ryan (WI), to submit for publication in the Congressional Record the relevant levels for enforcing the budget resolution as a conference report. These levels are included in this print, and may be found on page H1428 (113th Congress) of the Congressional Record.
Subsection 111(b) requires the Chairmen of the House and Senate Budget Committees to each submit for publication in the Congressional Record the allocations of budgetary resources for each congressional committee and aggregate spending and revenue levels. These levels are enforceable for fiscal year 2014 as if included in a conference agreement on a budget resolution for that fiscal year. Consistent with the different requirements of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 in the House and Senate, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget also published levels of revenues and outlays for Social Security. These levels may be found on page S361 (113th Congress) of the Congressional Record, as well as in Table 10 of this print. The submissions made pursuant to this section are consistent with the discretionary spending limits established in this Act and the Congressional Budget Office’s May 2013 baseline, adjusted for legislation enacted subsequent to the publication of that baseline and adjusted for the budgetary effects of this Act.
In addition, subsection 111(c) provides that in the House, the Chairman of the Budget Committee is authorized to reduce the aggregates, allocations, and other budgetary levels included in the statement required to be submitted pursuant to this section for the subsequent enactment of any additional deficit-reducing legislation during the 113th Congress.
