Stop the Baseline Bloat Act of 2024
This bill amends the budget baseline calculation method under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act. It adds a specific exclusion for emergency funding and supplemental appropriations when determining the baseline deficit figure. This change directly affects how federal budget deficits are measured and reported under current law. The key provision prevents emergency and supplemental funds from being counted toward the baseline, altering the calculation used for deficit targets. The bill makes a technical adjustment to budget scoring rules without creating new spending or policy requirements.
