What S.Con.Res. 7 does
S.Con.Res. 7 would set the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025 and budget levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034. It would also include reconciliation instructions, which direct several House and Senate committees to report legislation that increases or decreases the deficit by specified amounts, due to the budget committees by March 7, 2025. Reconciliation bills move under fast-track procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.
The resolution would create reserve funds for reconciliation legislation and for legislation that would not increase the deficit over fiscal years 2025 through 2034, and would exempt compliant reconciliation legislation from various budget points of order. It would set enforcement procedures, including the budget treatment of Social Security Administration and Postal Service administrative expenses.
