## Summary

**Would cap Senate debate on annual appropriation bills at 20 hours.** It would also stop long July adjournments in the House until regular appropriations covering every Appropriations subcommittee are approved. - Senators: Debate on any annual appropriation bill, including all amendments, motions, and appeals, would be limited to not more than 20 hours. The 20-hour limit would not apply to measures providing continuing appropriations. - House schedule: The House could not adopt an adjournment longer than three calendar days during July until it has approved annual appropriation bills that provide new budget authority under the jurisdiction of every Appropriations subcommittee. This ties mid-summer breaks to completion of regular spending bills. - Appropriations oversight: The Appropriations Committee chair would be required to periodically advise the Speaker about changes in subcommittee jurisdiction. The bill also updates the table of contents language to reflect the revised section on approval of regular appropriation bills.
