Declares that the budget process should contain safeguards against delay and inaction, so that temporary shut-downs of the Government may be avoided. Title II: Binding Budget Law - Requires the Congress to enact a binding budget law, in the form of a joint resolution, by April 15 of the calendar year before that in which the fiscal period commences. Requires the budget law to fit on a single page, which sets forth specific budget ceilings in major functional categories.

Requires Executive agencies to adjust benefit levels to ensure that appropriations for entitlement programs are not exceeded. Subtitle D: "Pay As You Go" Requirement for New Spending - Prohibits the Congress from considering any legislation which exceeds the budget ceiling unless it offsets such increased spending with an equal amount of reductions. Requires a two-thirds affirmative vote in the House and the Senate to waive such prohibition. Title IV: Sustaining Mechanism - Makes appropriations to provide for an automatic continuing resolution if for any account an appropriation for a fiscal period does not become law before the beginning of such period.

Amends the Standing Rules of the Senate and the Rules of the House of Representatives to reflect the establishment of the new Joint Committee. Lists matters within the Committee's jurisdiction.

Appropriates as continuing appropriations amounts effective for the preceding fiscal year if a regular appropriations bill has not become law before the beginning of the fiscal year. Requires both the President and the Congress to draft a budget based on estimates of current fiscal year spending, proposing increases or decreases based on this level (rather than on an estimated baseline). Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require the Congressional Budget Office to use such a current fiscal year baseline in its report to the congressional budget committees, projecting growth for entitlement and discretionary spending based on current fiscal year spending. Requires the President to notify the Congress of any budget rescission before the close of the third calendar day after the date of enactment of any law providing such budget authority. Prohibits making such amounts available for obligation unless, within ten legislative days, the Congress has completed action on a rescission bill disapproving the proposed rescission.

Amends rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit the Committee on Rules from reporting any rule or order which would set aside such two-thirds requirement. Amends Federal law to prohibit any law, regulation, or administrative action that transfers an outlay, receipt, or revenue from one fiscal year to another fiscal year from being treated as reducing budget authority, spending authority, credit authority, or outlays, or increasing revenues, receipts, or collections, in computing deficit reduction for purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act), and the Federal budget process. Applies such provision to any law which extends an expiring law. Provides that in the case of new entitlement authority effective during a fiscal year, the first 12 months of such new entitlement authority shall be counted against the appropriate committee's allocation for such fiscal year.
