HR 8195 United States House · 118th Congress

SAP Act of 2024

This bill strengthens oversight of administrative spending actions by requiring the Director to submit detailed waiver explanations and budgetary impact estimates to congressional Budget Committees for any executive branch action exempting spending from budget neutrality rules. It modifies the threshold for such exemptions to apply only to actions increasing direct spending by $1 billion over 10 years or $100 million in any single year. The bill also clarifies that the purpose of the administrative PAYGO rules is to maintain budget neutrality for discretionary spending decisions. These changes apply directly to federal agencies making administrative spending decisions that exceed the new thresholds. The bill repeals a sunset provision and adds new reporting requirements for budget submissions.
