HCR 32 is a non-binding resolution urging the U.S. Congress to adopt zero-based budgeting for federal agencies. It proposes requiring agencies to rebuild their annual budgets from scratch each year - justifying every dollar of funding rather than starting with the previous year’s budget - instead of adding to existing appropriations. This would force agencies to evaluate all programs, rank priorities, and eliminate unnecessary spending to improve fiscal responsibility. The resolution does not change current law but calls on Congress to take action on this budgeting approach. It was introduced in the 2026 legislative session and referred to committee.
