Bill information
Summary
A bill to provide for a biennial budget process and a biennial appropriations process and to enhance oversight and the performance of the Federal Government.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change how the federal government creates its budget and spends money by moving to a two-year cycle instead of the current one-year cycle.

The bill aims to give the government more time to plan and better track how well it spends money. The bill has been introduced in Congress but has not yet been debated or voted on.
