Joint EXPLANATORy Statement
The Joint Explanatory Statement of the Managers of Conference on the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 included this description:
Section 242. Supplemental Budget Estimates and Changes
(a) Change in Date of Submission
The House amendment eliminated the current law requirement for an April update of the President’s budget.
The Senate amendment had no such provision.
The conference agreement includes the House provision, eliminating the requirement for an April update of the President’s budget. Budget reestimates from the President in early April do not help the Congress meet its April 15 deadline. Requiring budget reestimates in March or earlier is too soon after the President originally submits the budget. Therefore, the spring deadline is dropped. Under this conference agreement, the President will still be required to submit mid-summer budget reestimates.
(b) Revisions and Supplemental Summaries
The House amendment contained an amendment to section 1106 of title 31, United States Code, adding a new subsection providing that revisions and supplemental summaries to the President’s budget must adhere to the maximum deficit amounts.
The Senate amendment had identical language.
The conference agreement has identical language.
