Targeted News Service

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 -- The House Budget Committee issued a summary report and activities for 114th Congress. The report was advanced by Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., on Dec. 30.

JURISDICTION AND FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE

The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 established the Committees on the Budget for the House of Representatives and the Senate. These committees are responsible for developing and reporting the annual concurrent resolution on the budget ("budget resolution"), for assembling and reporting any reconciliation legislation required by that resolution, and for overseeing the congressional and statutory budget process.

Once adopted, the budget resolution provides an overall framework and plan for Congressional consideration of spending, revenue, and debt limit legislation. It sets a ceiling on total spending and a floor on total revenues to be collected. It also provides an allocation of spending authority to each committee of Congress, both the appropriations committees and among the various authorizing committees. The House and Senate enforce the aggregate spending and revenue levels as well as the committee allocations set by the budget resolution, through points of order that govern the consideration of legislation.

The budget resolution may also include an optional reconciliation process, which directs authorizing committees to revise programs under their jurisdiction in order to adjust either projected direct spending or revenues by specified amounts. If more than one committee receives reconciliation instructions, the Budget Committee is responsible for compiling the legislation submitted by the various committees and reporting the combined legislation to the House. The budget reconciliation process is used when changes in direct spending or tax law are needed to implement the plan set out in the budget resolution: to reconcile actual spending and revenue in law with the guidelines set out in the resolution.

The Budget Committee then assembles the legislation into an omnibus legislative package without making any substantive revisions for consideration by the House. The Budget Committee not only has jurisdiction over budget resolutions and reconciliation bills, it also has legislative jurisdiction over major elements of the budget process and various statutory controls over the Federal budget.

When the House of Representatives adopted Rules for the 104th Congress (House Resolution 6) on January 5, 1995, the Budget Committee achieved for the first time legislative jurisdiction over major elements of the congressional budget process and various statutory controls over the Federal budget. In adopting the Rules of the House of Representatives for the 105th Congress (House Resolution 5) on January 7, 1997, the House extended the Budget Committee's legislative jurisdiction to include not only the congressional budget process but the budget process in general. The Committee's jurisdictional statement, House Rule X, clause 1(d), now reads as follows:

(1) Concurrent resolutions on the budget (as defined in section 3(4) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974), other matters required to be referred to the committee under titles III and IV of that Act, and other measures setting forth appropriate levels of budget totals for the United States Government.

(2) Budget process generally.

(3) Establishment, extension, and enforcement of special controls over the Federal budget, including the budgetary treatment of off-budget Federal agencies and measures providing exemption from reduction under any order issued under part C of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

Under its jurisdiction, the Budget Committee has exclusive jurisdiction over both budgetary levels and budgetary concepts. Under subparagraph (2), the Budget Committee has primary jurisdiction over the budget process, as well as, secondary jurisdiction over purely procedural aspects of the congressional budget process. Finally, under subparagraph (3), the Budget Committee has exclusive jurisdiction over the establishment, extension, and enforcement of direct and discretionary spending limits, pay-go requirements, and other special budgetary mechanisms to control spending, the deficit, or the Federal budget, including the sequestration process.

In addition to its legislative duties, the Budget Committee continues to have responsibilities for oversight and studies. These responsibilities include oversight of the Congressional Budget Office; study of the outlay effects of existing and proposed legislation; study of off-budget entities; study of tax expenditures; and study of proposals to improve and facilitate the congressional budget process.

Summary of Activities

Appointment of the Director of the Congressional Budget Office

On February 27, 2015, Dr. Homer Keith Hall was jointly appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and President pro tempore of the Senate as the Director of the Congressional Budget Office, effective April 1, 2015, for the term expiring January 3, 2019. The appointment can be found on page H1375 of the Congressional Record. This appointment was made on Chairman Price's recommendation based on the longstanding practice between the Budget Committees alternating which Chairman recommends a Director with the other Chairman concurring.

Fiscal Year 2016 Budget Resolution

On March 18, 2015, the Committee on the Budget marked up the fiscal year 2016 concurrent resolution on the budget, House Concurrent Resolution 27 (114th Congress). The report accompanying House Concurrent Resolution 27 (114th Congress), House Report 114-47, was filed on March 20, 2015. This report established allocations of spending authority to House committees and identified accounts eligible for advance appropriations.

On March 23, 2015, the Committee on Rules reported a rule (House Resolution 163) providing for the consideration of House Concurrent Resolution 27 (114th Congress). The rule provided for four hours of general debate: three hours controlled by the Chair and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on the Budget, equally divided; and one hour on the subject of economic goals and policies equally divided between the Chair and Ranking Minority Member of the Joint Economic Committee or their designees.

The Resolution specified certain amendments in order and waived all points of order against consideration of the concurrent resolution.

The House passed House Resolution 163 on March 24, 2015. After the adoption of House Resolution 163, floor debate on House Concurrent Resolution 27 proceeded on March 24-25, 2015.

The Committee of the Whole proceeded with four hours of general debate on the resolution and then proceeded to full substitute amendments:

Amendment No. 1: An amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Representative Ellison [MN-5] was defeated. Failed by recorded vote: 96-330 (Roll no. 136).

Amendment No. 2: An amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Representative Butterfield [NC-1] was defeated. Failed by recorded vote: 120-306 (Roll no. 137).

Amendment No. 3: An amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Representative Stutzman [IN-3] was defeated. Failed by recorded vote: 132-294 (Roll no. 138).

Amendment No. 4: An amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Representative Van Hollen [MD-8] was defeated. Failed by recorded vote: 160-264 (Roll no. 139).

Amendment No. 5: An amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Representative Tom Price [GA-6] was defeated. Failed by recorded vote: 105-319 (Roll no. 140). This amendment was identical to the reported resolution. The total level of new budget authority for the Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism function (Function 970) remained at $94 billion in Fiscal Year 2016. The amendment also retained a deficit-neutral reserve fund for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism [OCO/GWOT] in section 513. This section permitted the Chair of the Committee on the Budget to adjust the 302(a) allocations to the Committee on Appropriations, and other appropriate levels, for any appropriations measure providing new budget authority for Overseas Contingency Operations in excess of $73.5 billion up to $94 billion in Fiscal Year 2016.

Amendment No. 6: An amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Representative Tom Price [GA-6] was agreed to by recorded vote: 219-208 (Roll no. 141). The amendment increased new budget authority for the OCO/GWOT function (Function 970) by $2 billion, from $94 billion to $96 billion in Fiscal Year 2016. The amendment increased the outlay amounts for OCO over the period of Fiscal Years 2016 to 2025. As a consequence of the increase in OCO/GWOT, conforming increases were made in total budget authority and outlays, deficits, interest, debt subject to the limit, and debt held by the public. Even with the increase in overall budget authority and outlays, the budget resolution remained in balance in Fiscal Year 2024 and thereafter. The amendment also struck a deficit-neutral reserve fund for OCO/GWOT in section 513 of the reported resolution. This section would have permitted the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget to adjust the 302(a) allocations to the Committee on Appropriations for any appropriations measure that provided new budget authority in excess of $73.5 billion up to $94 billion in Fiscal Year 2016.

The Committee of the Whole then proceeded with the final 10 minutes of general debate on House Concurrent Resolution 27, pursuant to the provisions of House Resolution 163. The House then rose from the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union to report House Concurrent Resolution 27. The House adopted the amendment as agreed to by the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union.

This was agreed to, as amended, pursuant to the provisions of House Resolution 189. Chairman Tom Price then moved that the House insist upon its amendment, and request a conference. The House then proceeded with one hour of debate on Chairman Price's motion that the House insist on its amendment to S. Con. Res. 11 and request a conference with the Senate. On the motion that the House insist upon its amendment, and request a conference Agreed to by voice vote. Mr. Van Hollen then moved that the House instruct conferees. The House proceeded with one hour of debate on the motion to instruct conferees on S. Con. Res. 11. On the motion that the House instruct conferees failed by the Yeas and Nays: 187-239 (Roll no. 153).

H.R. 3762, Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015

The conference report on the fiscal year 2016 budget resolution (S. Con. Res. 11) included reconciliation directives instructing the Committees on Finance and Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions in the Senate and the Committees on Education and the Workforce, Energy and Commerce, and Ways and Means in the House of Representatives to transmit to their respective Budget Committee changes in laws within their jurisdiction reducing the deficit by $1 billion each. The conference report also included language for the Committees in the House of Representatives to determine the most effective methods by which the Affordable Care Act and the health care related provisions of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 could be repealed in their entirety.

On October 2, 2015, the Committees on Education and the Workforce, Energy and Commerce, and Ways and Means each transmitted their legislative language to the Committee on the Budget meeting their respective reconciliation directives.

On October 9, 2015, the Committee on the Budget marked up and ordered reported these reconciliation submissions. On October 16, 2015, Chairman Price introduced H.R. 3762, the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015, and the accompanying report, House Report 114-293.

The Committee on Rules reported a rule (House Resolution 483) providing for the consideration of H.R. 3762. The rule provided for two hours of debate controlled by the Chair and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on the Budget, equally divided.

The resolution stipulated that the amendment printed in the report and offered by Chairman Price was considered as adopted. This amendment omitted the section repealing the Independent Payment Advisory Board and clarified that the prohibition on Federal funding to states for payments to prohibited entities applied both to payments made directly to a prohibited entity and payments made through a managed care organization and included the standard exceptions covered by the Hyde amendment. The House passed House Resolution 483 on October 22, 2015.

After the adoption of House Resolution 483, floor debate on H.R. 3762 proceeded on October 23, 2015.

The House proceeded with two hours of general debate on H.R. 3762. On October 23, 2015, H.R. 3762 passed the House by a recorded vote of 240 ayes to 189 noes (Roll no. 568).

On November 18, 2015, H.R. 3762 was received in the Senate, read the first time, and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under Read the First Time. On December 1, 2015, the motion to proceed to the consideration of H.R. 3762 was agreed to in the Senate by voice vote. Senator McConnell then proposed an amendment in the nature of a substitute. This Senate amendment built upon the House-passed reconciliation bill to dismantle the Affordable Care Act by repealing the coverage subsidies, tax credits, and Medicaid expansion provisions, effective in 2018, that would have enabled Congress to implement patient-centered health care reform. The Senate amendment also repealed the vast majority of the burdensome Affordable Care Act taxes in 2016, including the medical device tax, health insurance tax, medicine cabinet tax and other Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account restrictions, in addition to immediately ending the individual and employer mandate penalties.

On December 3, 2015, the Senate passed H.R. 3762 with an amendment by a Yea-Nay vote of 52 to 47 (Record Vote Number: 329). On December 4, 2015, a message on the Senate action was sent to the House.

On January 5, 2016, the Committee on Rules reported a rule (House Resolution 579) providing for the consideration of the Senate amendment to H.R. 3762. The rule made in order to take from the Speaker's table the bill (H.R. 3762), with the Senate amendment thereto, and to consider in the House, without intervention of any point of order, a motion offered by the Chair of the Committee on the Budget or his designee that the House concur in the Senate amendment. The rule provided for one hour of debate controlled by the Chair and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on the Budget, equally divided.

On January 6, 2016, Chairman Price moved that the House concur in the Senate amendment. The House then proceeded with one hour of debate on the motion that the House agree to the Senate amendment to H.R. 3762. The motion that the House agree to the Senate amendment was agreed to by a vote of 240 yeas and 181 noes (Roll no. 6).

On January 7, 2016, H.R. 3762 was presented to the President. The President vetoed H.R. 3762 on January 8, 2016.

On January 8, 2016, the Chair laid before the House the veto message from the President. Mr. Scalise then moved to postpone consideration of the veto message until January 26, 2016. The House then proceeded with one hour of debate on the Scalise motion to postpone consideration of the veto message until January 26, 2016. The motion to postpone consideration of the veto message until January 26, 2016, was then agreed to by voice vote.

On January 25, 2016, the Chair announced that, notwithstanding the order of the House on January 8, 2016, further consideration of the veto message on H.R. 3762 shall be postponed until February 2, 2016. This was agreed to without objection.

On February 2, 2016, pursuant to the order of the House of January 25, 2016, the Chair announced that the unfinished business of the House was the further consideration of the President's veto message on H.R. 3762. The House then proceeded with one hour of debate on the question of passage of H.R. 3762, the objections of the President to the contrary, notwithstanding.

On February 2, 2016, the House failed to pass H.R. 3762, the objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding, by a vote (2/3 required) of 241 yeas and 186 nays (Roll no. 53). The Chair then announced that the bill and accompanying veto message were referred to the Committee on the Budget and directed the Clerk to notify the Senate of the House action.

Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Resolution

On March 16, 2016, the Committee on the Budget marked up the fiscal year 2017 concurrent resolution on the budget, House Concurrent Resolution 125 (114th Congress). The report accompanying House Concurrent Resolution 125 (114th Congress), House Report 114-470, was filed on March 23, 2016. This report established allocations of spending authority to House committees and identified accounts eligible for advance appropriations.

Other Legislative Activities

H. Res. 5, Adopting Rules for the 114th Congress

The organizing resolution (H. Res. 5) adopted by the House on January 6, 2015, at the commencement of the 114th Congress contained several provisions related to the congressional budget process. House Resolution 5 provides that the Rules of the 113th Congress are the Rules of the 114th Congress.

House Resolution 5 also provides that any estimate for any major legislation provided by the Congressional Budget Office, or by the Joint Committee on Taxation to the CBO Director is to incorporate the budgetary effects of changes in economic output, employment, capital stock, and other variables resulting from such legislation. House Resolution 5 mandates that such estimates include a qualitative assessment of the measure's budgetary effects in the 20-fiscal year period beginning after the last fiscal year of the most recently agreed to concurrent budget resolution, and an identification of the critical assumptions and the source of data underlying that estimate. This rule is based off of Chairman Price's Pro- Growth Budgeting Act, which passed the House in both the 112th and 113th Congresses.

Additionally, under House Resolution 5, the Chair of the House Committee on the Budget, before consideration of a budget resolution, must submit for printing in the Congressional Record a description of those programs considered means-tested direct spending and those considered nonmeans-tested direct spending.

It also suspended the public debt limit through March 15, 2017, increasing the limit thereafter to accommodate necessary obligations issued during the suspension period that required payment before March 16, 2017.

BUDGET ENFORCEMENT

One of the responsibilities of the Committee on the Budget is to monitor legislation to be considered on the floor of the House and what implications such legislation would have on spending and revenue. The Committee provided ongoing oversight of the Office of Management and Budget's implementation of budget submission, control, execution, and enforcement procedures under the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, and the Budget Control Act of 2011.

Pursuant to Section 312 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and rule XXIX of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Chairman is provided authority to give guidance concerning the impact of a legislative proposition on the levels of new budget authority, outlays, direct spending, new entitlement authority, and revenues.

Additionally, the Committee monitored reclassifications of budget accounts, re-estimates of the subsidies of credit programs, consistency in cost estimates for direct spending and tax bills, compliance with the relevant laws in the development of budget projections, and changes in spend-out rates for discretionary programs.

The Committee provided guidance to the Committee on Appropriations, the authorizing committees, and the Committee on Rules on spending and tax legislation to enforce the appropriate levels in the budget resolution as required under sections 302(f), 303(a) and 311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and on any budget-related provisions of the Rules of the House of Representatives.

ECONOMIC POLICY

The Committee has studied, and will continue to study, how economic policies affect the Federal budget.

OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES

The primary responsibility of the Committee on the Budget is the development of a concurrent budget resolution that sets spending and revenue levels in aggregate and across major functional categories. These budget functions encompass all Federal programs and activities. Certain programs are considered off-budget, such as Social Security and the Postal Service, and some are considered non-budgetary, such as the Federal Reserve.

The subject matter of the budget is inherently broad, but the Committee's formal oversight responsibility focuses on laws governing the budget process and the agencies responsible for administering elements of those laws. Under clauses 1(d)(2) and (3) of House rule X, the major laws falling within the committee's oversight are the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the Statutory Pay- As-You-Go Act of 2010, and the Budget Control Act of 2011. The two agencies with primary responsibility for administering elements of these laws and hence which fall under the Committee's jurisdiction are the Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office.

In addition to these general oversight responsibilities, the Budget Committee has the special oversight responsibility under clause 3(c) of House rule X to study the effect on budget outlays of existing and proposed legislation and under clause 4(b)(6) of House rule X to request and evaluate continuing studies of tax expenditures.

The Committee on the Budget met on January 22, 2015, to organize for the 114th Congress. In addition to adopting rules of procedure, the Committee also adopted a written oversight plan. The Committee held hearings in the process of developing the annual concurrent budget resolution. Additionally, the Committee received testimony from Members of Congress, Cabinet level and other Federal officials, State and local officials, and expert witnesses to review the budget and economic outlook, the President's budget submissions and other budget and economic matters.

The Committee's oversight plan calls for continuous assessment of the performance of Federal agencies in both the administration and service delivery by reviewing performance data in the President's budget submissions and the relevant reports and audits of the Government Accountability Office and the Offices of the Inspectors General.

Pursuant to the Committee's request, the Government Accountability Office published the following reports:

2013 Sequestration and Shutdown: Selected Agencies Generally Managed Unobligated Balances in Reviewed Accounts, but Balances Exceeded Target Levels in Two Accounts [10/30/ 2015]

International Remittances: Money Laundering Risks and Views on Enhanced Customer Verification and Recordkeeping Requirements [1/15/2016]

International Remittances: Actions Needed to Address Unreliable Official U.S. Estimate [2/16/2016]

2014 Sequestration: Opportunities Exist to Improve Transparency of Progress Toward Deficit Reduction Goals [4/14/2016]

Revolving Funds: Additional Pricing and Performance Information for FAA and Treasury Funds Could Enhance Agency Decisions on Shared Services [5/10/2016]

Department of Health and Human Services: Transitional Reinsurance Program [9/29/2016]

The oversight plan specifically calls on the Committee to study the budgetary effects of existing law and proposed legislation, as well as government regulation, on government spending and to explore ways of reducing waste, fraud, and abuse in government agencies. Furthermore, the Committee drew on the authorizing committees' Views and Estimates on the President's budget, that are submitted to the Committee pursuant to section 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act, to coordinate its oversight activities with other committees. The Committee on the Budget will continue to review the budgetary treatment of, assistance to, and ongoing operations of: Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). Moreover, the Committee plan calls for continued oversight of the Office of Management and Budget's implementation of budget submission, control, execution, and enforcement procedures under the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the Statutory Pay- As-You-Go Act of 2010, and other applicable laws. The oversight plan also calls for the evaluation and study of direct spending and tax policies.
