Assumes enactment by October 2019; estimates are relative to CBO's May 2019 baseline.

Numbers may not add up to totals because of rounding.

Section 101 would revise the caps on defense and nondefense discretionary appropriations for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 to allow for higher
amounts of funding than is permitted under current law caps and budget enforcement procedures. The total proposed caps for 2020 would be
$171 billion above the current law caps of $1,119 billion. For 2021 the proposed caps would be $153 billion above the current law caps of
$1,145 billion. There are no caps on discretionary funding after 2021. The proposed increase for 2020 includes a new maximum adjustment of
$2.5 billion to the nondefense cap for spending for the periodic census.

Title III would temporarily suspend the current debt limit through July 31, 2021. On the following day, the debt ceiling would be raised by the
amount of obligations incurred up to that point. Enacting that title, by itself, would have no effect on the federal budget.

Section 401 would extend the authority to collect customs user fees that apply to vessels, vehicles, and passengers, and the merchandise
processing fee through September 30, 2029. The bill also would maintain the current rate for the merchandise processing fee through
September 30, 2029.

Section 402 would extend mandatory sequestration through fiscal year 2029. Compared to current law, the Medicare provision would increase
spending for most Medicare benefits by about 2 percent for April through September 2027, reduce spending by 2 percent for October 2027
through March 2029, then reduce spending by 4 percent for April through September 2029.

Enacting the bill would not increase on-budget deficits in any decade after 2029.

a. Changes in outlays equal changes in the deficit.
