HRES 96 United States House · 118th Congress

Transparency in Federal Spending Resolution

HRES 96, the "Transparency in Federal Spending Resolution," requires that any House bill, resolution, or amendment authorizing or making appropriations must include a machine-readable table detailing program-specific funding amounts, annual breakdowns, and estimated debt servicing costs. This procedural rule change applies to all appropriations-related legislation considered by the House, directly affecting how such bills are processed. The bill itself does not alter spending levels but mandates greater disclosure of fiscal details before debate can begin. It aims to improve transparency in federal budgeting by standardizing how spending information is presented. (Note: As a procedural rule change, this summary is concise per the bill's nature.)
