Summary

Balanced Budget Act of 1995 - Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to make it out of order to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget unless the resolution: (1) sets forth a balanced budget (excluding the receipts and disbursements of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund) by FY 2002 or the earliest possible fiscal year; (2) sets forth appropriate budgetary levels; and (3) includes specific reconciliation instructions. Requires a three-fifths majority vote in the Senate to waive such point of order. Suspends the provisions of this Act in the event of war or congressionally-declared low economic growth.
