End-of-Year Fiscal Responsibility Act
This bill, titled the End-of-Year Fiscal Responsibility Act, would limit how much money federal executive agencies can spend near the end of each fiscal year. It directly affects federal agencies that receive discretionary funding, restricting their spending in the two months before a fiscal year ends to no more than their average monthly spending over the previous 10 months. The law requires agencies to submit detailed reports to Congress and publish them online within 60 days after each fiscal year concludes. Certain spending for national security and disaster relief would be exempt from these limits.
