S 4372 United States Senate · 119th Congress

No Bias in the Baseline Act

The No Bias in the Baseline Act modifies how the federal government calculates its long-term budget projections to ensure they reflect current laws without automatic adjustments for inflation. This change primarily affects the Office of Management and Budget and Congress, which use these projections to determine if the nation is on track to meet deficit reduction goals. The bill instructs agencies to assume that all existing spending and revenue laws continue unchanged while explicitly excluding emergency funds and supplemental appropriations from the baseline. Additionally, it removes the practice of adjusting these baseline figures for inflation or other economic factors, resulting in a more static view of future federal finances.
