A Fast-Tracked Executive Rescission Review (AFTER) of Appropriations Act of 2024

This bill establishes a fast-track process for Congress to review presidential requests to cancel or rescind funding from appropriations bills. The President must submit detailed proposals within 10 days of an appropriations bill passing, specifying which funds to rescind, the reasons, and remaining funding amounts. Congress then has just 3 days to introduce an "approval bill" that can only approve the rescission without any other changes, with a 30-day deadline for action. If Congress fails to act within 30 days, the proposed rescission is automatically rejected, and the original funding remains in place. This process aims to provide a streamlined, time-limited mechanism for Congress to consider presidential spending reduction requests.
