FMBE The Appropriations Process • Appropriations Act • Provides new budget authority for the program, activity, or agency previously authorized. • Congress is not required to provide appropriations for an authorized program. • Authorization Act – Authorizes Appropriations • Establishes, continues, or modifies agencies or programs. • Authorizes appropriations for specific agencies and programs, frequently setting spending ceilings for them. • No Budget/Outlay Authority with Authorization Act OLA • Budget Resolution – Sets Spending Limits • Sets spending ceilings for the upcoming fiscal year. • Distributes federal spending among 20 functional categories, such as national defense, agriculture, and transportation, and sets similar levels for each function. • Includes revenue floors • No Budget/Outlay Authority with Budget Resolution
Types of Appropriations Measures • Regular Appropriations Bills • Provides most of the funding that is provided in all appropriations measures for a fiscal year, and must be enacted by October 1 of each year. • Continuing Resolutions • If regular bills are not enacted by the deadline, Congress adopts continuing resolutions (CR) to continue funding generally until regular bills are enacted. • Supplemental Bills • Considered later and provide additional appropriations.
