In fiscal year 2020, most discretionary budget authority is subject to limits (or caps) established by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Public Law 112-25), as modified. Under current law, those caps total $1,119 billion-$576 billion for defense programs (statutorily, revised security) and $543 billion for nondefense programs (statutorily, revised nonsecurity ). The authority to determine whether funding provided for fiscal year 2020 exceeds the caps-that is, whether a sequestration is required, and if so, how to apply necessary reductions in budget authority-rests with the Office of d. At the direction of the House Committee on the Budget, spending for certain activities related to the 2020 census provided in division A (Commerce, Justice, Science), and designated under section 1(g) of H. Res. 293, is reflected as spending that would result in an adjustment to caps on discretionary spending rather than as spending constrained by statutory caps. Management and Budget. e.

Such funding includes appropriations for certain activities specifically designated in keeping with section 251 of the Deficit Control Act. In addition, under H. Res. 293, which the House passed on April 9, 2019, the Chairman of the House Committee on the Budget may adjust allocations to account for budget authority and corresponding outlays provided for certain activities related to tax enforcement and the 2020 census. Consistent with that resolution, this table reflects such budget authority as an adjustment to the caps on discretionary spending, similar to the adjustments permitted under the Budget Control Act. However, if enacted, budget authority for tax enforcement and the 2020 census would not result in adjustments to statutory caps on discretionary spending. 1 of 2 b. June 13, 2019
