Changes how the federal budget baseline is calculated and creates enforcement steps and pay penalties to speed up budget action. It narrows what counts in the baseline (excluding emergency supplements and bars any inflation adjustment) and directs that Members’ pay be placed in escrow and certain OMB leaders’ pay withheld if a House fails to agree to a FY2026 budget resolution by April 15, 2025. It also requires the OPM Inspector General to audit whether the President and OMB timely submitted the President’s budget and to notify key congressional committee chairs of any noncompliance.
