S 1052 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Administrative Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2023

This bill requires federal agencies to offset any new direct spending caused by their administrative actions (like rule changes or guidance). Agencies must propose equivalent spending reductions before implementing rules that increase costs, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reviews these proposals. It applies to all executive agencies (e.g., EPA, Social Security Administration) and military departments, but excludes the Government Accountability Office. The law aims to prevent uncontrolled spending increases from agency actions by mandating budget neutrality for new rules.
