S.Con.Res. 33 · Economics and Public Finance
A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.
Introduced Apr 21, 2026 · On agreeing to the resolution Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 215 - 211, 1 Present (Roll no. 143). (text: CR H3147-3146)
What does this mean?

Congress uses this resolution to set its own spending and revenue targets for the next ten years, basically a financial blueprint rather than a law that directly changes your taxes or benefits. As part of it, four committees dealing with immigration enforcement, border security, and related law enforcement matters are told to draft legislation that can add up to $70 billion to the deficit over the next decade, likely for things like hiring more border and immigration agents or expanding enforcement operations. That legislation would get special fast-track treatment in the Senate, meaning it could pass with a simple majority instead of needing 60 votes. The resolution itself doesn't create new programs or cut anyone's benefits directly, but it sets the stage for follow-up bills, especially on immigration and border policy, that could do so.
