A bill to amend the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to establish certain procedures for consideration of appropriation bills, and for other purposes.

This bill amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to establish specific rules and deadlines for how the Senate and the House of Representatives consider annual government spending (appropriation) bills.

This legislation directly affects members of Congress, specifically: * **The U.S. Senate**, by changing procedural rules for debating spending bills. * **The U.S. House of Representatives**, by limiting when the House can take breaks in July and adding reporting duties for the Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations.

* **Senate Debate Rules:** Annual appropriation bills in the Senate will be governed by the rules currently used for budget resolutions (Section 305 of the Congressional Budget Act). Total debate time on any annual spending bill—including all amendments, debatable motions, and appeals—is strictly limited to a maximum of 20 hours. * **House Adjournment Limits:** The House is prohibited from considering any resolution to adjourn (recess) for more than three calendar days during the month of July unless it has already passed all annual spending bills covering every Appropriations subcommittee for the upcoming fiscal year (which begins October 1). * **House Reporting Requirements:** The Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations is required to periodically inform the Speaker of the House about any shifts in subcommittee jurisdictions. * **Technical Updates:** The table of contents of the 1974 Act is updated to rename Section 309 as "Approval of appropriation bills."

This bill does not authorize, appropriate, or allocate any money, nor does it create or modify any taxes, fees, or monetary penalties. It only changes internal legislative procedures for handling funding bills.

* The 20-hour debate limit in the Senate applies strictly to the combination of the main spending bill, all related amendments, and any debatable motions or appeals. * The restriction on the House taking a July break of more than three days contains one key exception: the House may adjourn if it has already approved spending bills covering all Appropriations subcommittee jurisdictions for the upcoming fiscal year.

This bill aims to speed up and enforce deadlines for passing annual government spending bills by capping Senate debate on spending bills at 20 hours and preventing the House from taking a long July break unless all annual spending bills have been passed.
