This bill updates budget rules to exclude emergency funds from spending projections. This change helps ensure that budget estimates are more accurate and reflect actual spending needs.
Stop the Baseline Bloat Act of 2025This bill changes the assumptions that the Congressional Budget Office uses to calculate the baseline for discretionary spending. (A baseline is a projection of federal spending and receipts during a fiscal year under current law.) Specifically, the bill changes the assumptions used for the discretionary spending baseline to exclude (1) resources designated as an emergency requirement, and (2) resources provided in supplemental appropriations laws.
