Comprehensive Congressional Budget Act of 2024

This bill would create a new annual budget process requiring Congress to produce a single comprehensive budget act that includes all federal spending and revenue, rather than the current fragmented system where appropriations bills and direct spending/revenue policies are handled separately. It sets specific deadlines: Congress must adopt a budget resolution by April 15, committees must submit direct spending and revenue line items by May 15, and the House must report the full budget act by June 10. The bill repeals the current reconciliation process and requires committees to submit their spending and revenue proposals for inclusion in the annual budget. This reform aims to make Congress more involved in fiscal decision-making, improve program coordination, and better control deficits and debt. It would directly affect all congressional committees and the budget process for all federal spending and revenue.
