Budget

The FY2021 budget is subject to the spending caps of the Budget Control Act of 2011, as modified by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019.

The Trump administration budget proposal was released in February 2020.[1][2][3][4]

Appropriations legislation

The drafting of appropriations bills was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6] The House began consideration of appropriations bills on July 6.[7] As of July 22, the House had completed markup of all 12 bills, while the Senate had yet to begin.[8]

The House passed the first consolidated appropriations bill (H.R. 7608) containing four of the 12 bills on July 24.[9] The House passed the second consolidated appropriations bill (H.R. 7617) containing an additional six bills on July 31. The remaining two bills for Homeland Security and the Legislative Branch were not expected to be voted upon soon after.[10]
