What this bill does
Rand Paul introduced S.Con.Res. 39 on August 7, 2026, a concurrent budget resolution that would set the congressional budget for the federal government for fiscal year 2027, along with corresponding budgetary levels for fiscal years 2028 through 2036. As a budget resolution, it would establish overall spending and revenue targets and allocate them across federal budget categories, providing a framework Congress uses to guide subsequent appropriations and other budget-related legislation. The bill's full text has not yet been published, so its specific provisions, spending levels, and priorities are not yet known.
Because it is a framework-setting measure, its effects would extend broadly across the federal government and, indirectly, to anyone affected by federal spending and taxation, rather than targeting a specific industry or group. As a concurrent resolution, it would not go to the President for signature and would not carry the force of law on its own; instead, it would need to pass both the House and Senate in identical form to take effect as a guide for the budget process.
The bill is currently at the earliest stage of the legislative process, having just been introduced with no further action recorded. Next steps would typically involve committee consideration—most likely by the Senate Budget Committee—before any vote by the full Senate, and House concurrence would also be required for the resolution to move forward.
