One Percent Spending Reduction Act of 2018 This bill amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to establish and enforce new spending caps. The bill establishes an outlay cap (less net interest payments) for FY2019 of $3.826 trillion, less 1%. For each year from FY2020-FY2023, the bill reduces the outlay cap by 1% of the previous year's outlay cap.

The bill eliminates most of the existing exemptions from sequestration, with the exception of interest payments on the debt. If the OMB projects a sequestration, the congressional budget committees may report a resolution directing congressional committees to change existing law to achieve the spending reductions necessary to meet the outlay limits.
