A bill to provide for across-the-board rescissions of nonsecurity discretionary spending of 2 percent.
This bill, S 5485, would automatically reduce nonsecurity federal spending by 2% each year starting in 2026. It applies to all nonsecurity discretionary programs (like education, transportation, and environmental programs) funded through annual spending bills, without targeting specific programs. The Office of Management and Budget must report the exact amounts and accounts affected to Congress within 30 days after funding is finalized each year. This is a procedural spending cut, not a new policy or program.
