H.Con.Res. 14 (119th): This concurrent resolution establishes the congressional budget for the federal government for FY2025, sets forth budgetary levels for FY2026-FY2034, and provides reconciliation instructions for legislation that increases or decreases the deficit and increases the statutory debt limit by specified amounts

This concurrent resolution establishes the congressional budget for the federal government for FY2025, sets forth budgetary levels for FY2026-FY2034, and provides reconciliation instructions for legislation that increases or decreases the deficit and increases the statutory debt limit by specified amounts. The resolution recommends levels and amounts for FY2025-FY2034 for federal revenues, new budget authority, budget outlays, deficits, debt subject to limit, debt held by the public, and the major functional categories of spending. The resolution includes reconciliation instructions that direct 11 House committees to submit legislation that will increase or decrease the deficit over FY2025-FY2034 and increase the statutory debt limit by specified amounts. The committees must submit the legislation to the House Budget Committee by March 27, 2025. (Under current law, reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.) In addition, the resolution establishes a reserve fund that allows certain adjustments to committee allocations and other budgetary levels to accommodate reconciliation legislation. The resolution also requires the maximum deficit increase permitted by the reconciliation instruction for the House Ways and Means Committee ($4.5 trillion in the resolution) to be reduced if the proposals submitted by certain committees do not achieve a total of at least $2 trillion in net deficit reduction (or increased if more than $2 trillion in deficit reduction is achieved). Finally, the resolution sets forth budget enforcement procedures that address issues such as adjustments to committee allocations and the budgetary treatment of the discretionary administrative expenses for the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Postal Service.

Summary

Recorded summary

This House concurrent resolution, on a motion to concur in the Senate amendment, sets the federal budget for FY2025 and gives budgetary levels for FY2026-FY2034. It instructs 11 House committees to submit reconciliation legislation to the House Budget Committee by March 27, 2025, with changes to the deficit over FY2025-FY2034 and specified increases to the statutory debt limit. It creates a reserve fund for committee allocation adjustments, ties the Ways and Means instruction (up to $4.5 trillion) to a $2 trillion net deficit-reduction benchmark, and sets budget enforcement rules, including treatment of SSA and USPS administrative expenses.

Theological note: Scripture calls rulers to stewardship, justice, and faithful care for the public trust, and it warns against debt-driven dependence and reckless use of borrowed resources (Proverbs 22:7; Romans 13:1-7). This measure bears on those concerns through its debt-limit increases, deficit targets, and reconciliation mechanics. Its moral weight depends on what later reconciliation legislation does with spending priorities and whether those choices protect the vulnerable and act with prudence and honesty. This resolution is a framework and does not itself enact the substantive policies.
