Summary
Expedited Rescissions Act of 1993 - Amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to allow the President to transmit to both Houses of the Congress, for expedited consideration, one special message proposing to rescind all or part of any item of budget authority provided in an appropriation bill. Requires that such special message be transmitted not later than three days after the President approves the appropriation bill and be accompanied by a draft bill or joint resolution that would, if enacted, rescind the budget authority proposed to be rescinded. Sets forth House and Senate procedures for the expedited consideration of such a proposal. Provides a special transition rule for messages of the 104th Congress proposing to rescind certain budget authority of the 103d Congress. Provides judicial review of congressional actions under this Act.

- amends ← An amendment in the nature of a substitute to propose that a presidential rescission package submitted to Congress upon the signing of an appropriations bill would automatically become effective unless it is disapproved by both the House and Senate. Specifically, upon signing an appropriations bill, the President would have 20 calendar days to send to Congress an overall rescission proposal as opposed to 3 days provided for in the existing bill. The Congress would then have 20 legislative days after the President's submission to pass a joint resolution disapproving the rescission proposal. The joint resolution of disapproval would be subject to 10 hours of debate in the Senate and to whatever debate in the House would be made in order under the rules. Neither body would have the right to amend the joint resolution. After passage of said joint resolution by Congress, the President would have the 10 days prescribed by the Constitution to sign or veto the joint resolution, and if it is vetoed, Congress would have an additional 5 legislative days in which to vote to override the veto of the joint resolution (by a 2/3 vote in both Houses). If the Congress fails to override the veto of the disapproval resolution, the rescission would then go into effect.
- amends ← An amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as an original bill under House Resolution 149.
- amends ← An amendment to the Castle substitute amendment to include in the special rescission provisions of the substitute an additional presidential authority to repeal "targeted tax benefits" in revenue measures. The presidential repeal could be overridden by passage of a joint resolution of disapproval.
