HR 111 United States House · 118th Congress

Budget Process Enhancement Act

HR 111, the Budget Process Enhancement Act, changes how federal budget baselines are calculated by excluding emergency funds and supplemental appropriations, and removes automatic inflation adjustments. It requires Congress to pass a budget resolution for fiscal year 2024 by April 15, 2023, or face holding members' salaries in escrow until the resolution is approved or the 118th Congress ends. The bill also withholds pay for the OMB Director, Deputy Director, and Deputy Director for Management if the President fails to submit the annual budget on time, with no retroactive payment allowed. These provisions directly affect congressional members and OMB leadership by linking their compensation to adherence to budget deadlines.
