S.Con.Res. 39 is a concurrent budget resolution that sets the federal government's budget framework for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 and establishes spending, revenue, deficit, and debt targets through FY 2036. It establishes internal congressional budget enforcement rules and issues "reconciliation instructions" directing specific House and Senate committees to submit legislative changes by **September 11, 2026**, to meet specific deficit and spending goals.

As a congressional budget resolution, this measure primarily affects Congress and federal agencies by setting binding internal rules for writing future spending and revenue laws. Specific bodies and agencies directly affected by its instructions and administrative spending rules include: * **Congressional Committees:** Specified House and Senate committees (such as Senate Finance, Armed Services, Agriculture, Intelligence, Judiciary, and others) tasked with drafting statutory changes. * **Federal Agencies:** Agencies whose operational limits or spending frameworks are targeted, including the Social Security Administration (SSA), the U.S. Postal Service, and the Department of Defense.

* **Mandatory Deficit Reductions:** The Senate Finance Committee is **required** to draft legislation that reduces the federal deficit by at least $500 billion over the FY 2027–2036 period. * **Permitted Deficit Increases:** Certain committees are **authorized** (permitted) to draft legislation that increases the deficit up to specific limits through FY 2036: * *Armed Services (House and Senate):* May increase the deficit by up to $60 billion each. * *Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs, Judiciary, and Rules & Administration (Senate):* May each increase the deficit by up to $20 billion. * *Intelligence (House and Senate):* May increase the deficit by up to $13 billion each. * *Agriculture (House and Senate):* May increase the deficit by up to $12 billion each. * *House Administration:* May increase the deficit by up to $10 billion. * *Commerce, Energy & Natural Resources, Foreign Relations, Indian Affairs, and Veterans' Affairs (Senate):* May each increase the deficit by up to $1 billion. * **Congressional Enforcement & Rules:** * House and Senate Appropriations Committees must include discretionary administrative expenses for the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Postal Service within their standard spending allocations. * Reconciliation legislation that complies with these targets is granted exemptions from certain budget points of order, including a waiver from the House CUTGO rule (clause 10 of rule XXI). * House and Senate Budget Committee Chairs are granted permission to adjust committee allocations and overall budget baselines to reflect updated Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections, enacted laws, or statutory reconciliation bills.
