S 1395 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to temporarily suspend the debt limit through December 31, 2024.

This bill temporarily suspends the federal debt ceiling from enactment until December 31, 2024, allowing the government to borrow without restriction during this period. It directly affects the U.S. Treasury's ability to issue new debt to fund existing government obligations. The key mechanism is a temporary pause on the debt limit, with a special rule ensuring that debt issued before January 1, 2025, to cover commitments due before that date is counted toward the new limit. This avoids a potential default on existing financial obligations without changing the debt limit permanently.
