## Summary

**Exclude emergency and supplemental appropriations from the CBO discretionary baseline.** This bill would amend the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 so the Congressional Budget Office no longer counts resources labeled as emergency requirements or provided in supplemental appropriation laws in the current‑year baseline for discretionary appropriations. - Members of Congress and appropriators: Baseline projections for discretionary spending would no longer include emergency-designated or supplemental funding in the current-year baseline. That changes the reference point used when proposing or comparing future discretionary funding. - Congressional Budget Office analysts: CBO would remove those categories from its current-year baseline calculations. Cost estimates and baseline reports would reflect a narrower measure of regular discretionary resources. - Budget analysts and the public: Year-to-year comparisons of discretionary baseline totals would separate regular funding from emergency and supplemental resources, altering how policymakers and observers read baseline trends.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Budget forecasts would ignore emergency add-ons: mixed, medium. If enacted, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) would stop counting emergency-designated funds and supplemental spending in the current-year discretionary baseline.
