Super Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2026

The Super Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2026 strengthens existing budget rules by requiring that any new government spending or tax cuts be offset by savings equal to twice the cost of those changes. This stricter standard aims to ensure that legislation directly reduces the federal deficit rather than merely maintaining the current level of debt accumulation. The bill also tightens the process for designating emergency spending, mandating a two-thirds congressional vote to waive these stricter budget rules and requiring specific justifications for such designations. Additionally, it mandates that the Office of Management and Budget publish detailed reports on how new laws affect the federal deficit and that Congress cannot bundle these budgetary restrictions with other unrelated legislation.
