A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2027 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2028 through 2036.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) introduced S.Con.Res. 38 on August 7, 2026. As a concurrent budget resolution, it would set overall spending, revenue, and deficit targets for the federal government for fiscal year 2027, along with projected budgetary levels for fiscal years 2028 through 2036. Because the bill's text has not yet been published, the specific spending levels, revenue assumptions, or programmatic priorities it proposes are not known at this time.

Budget resolutions of this kind affect the federal government broadly rather than targeting a specific group: they establish the fiscal framework that guides subsequent appropriations and, potentially, budget reconciliation legislation in Congress. They do not themselves become law or make binding changes to federal programs, since concurrent resolutions are not signed by the President and do not have the force of law.

The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress and its most recent recorded action is its introduction on August 7, 2026. As a concurrent resolution, it would need to be considered and agreed to by both the House and Senate, typically starting with committee review in the Budget Committee. Once its text is published, more detail will be available about its specific fiscal targets and provisions.
