What this bill does
H.Con.Res. 113 is a congressional budget resolution setting overall fiscal targets for the federal government for fiscal year 2027, with projected levels extending through 2036. It does not enact spending or tax law directly; instead it establishes non-binding planning figures for federal revenues, total new budget authority, outlays, and deficits, and breaks spending down by major category such as defense, health, Medicare, Social Security, veterans' benefits, income security, and net interest. It also sets recommended levels for the federal debt subject to the statutory limit and debt held by the public. The resolution includes provisions directing House committees to develop reconciliation legislation, establishes a reserve fund tied to that reconciliation process, and contains technical rules on budget enforcement, adjustments, and House procedures.
The bill primarily affects how Congress organizes its own budget process rather than imposing direct obligations on the public. It sets the framework within which House and Senate committees will write actual appropriations and tax/spending bills for the coming decade, and it can trigger a reconciliation process—an expedited legislative track often used for major tax or spending changes. Federal agencies, programs, and ultimately taxpayers could be affected indirectly once specific legislation implementing these targets is passed.
The resolution passed the House on July 22, 2026, by a vote of 216–214, and now goes to the Senate for consideration. As a concurrent resolution, it does not require the President's signature and does not by itself become law; it functions as an internal congressional agreement guiding subsequent legislation, including any reconciliation bill.
