Summary

Declares that this resolution revises and replaces the concurrent resolution on the budget for FY 2000. Sets forth the congressional budget for the Government for FY 2001, including the appropriate budgetary levels for FY 2002 through 2005. (Sec. 2) Lists recommended budgetary levels and amounts, for FY 2000 through 2005, with respect to: (1) Federal revenues; (2) new budget authority; (3) budget outlays; (4) surpluses; and (5) public debt. (Sec. 3) Lists the appropriate levels of new budget authority and outlays for specified major functional categories for FY 2000 through 2005. (Sec. 4) Directs the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee to report a reconciliation bill by specified dates in 2000 that consists of changes in law within its jurisdiction sufficient to reduce the total level of revenues by specified amounts for FY 2001 and for the period of FY 2001 through 2005. Directs the House Budget Committee chairman, whenever certain bills are reported after the date of this resolution's adoption that provide the health-related tax provisions contained in H.R. 2990 (as passed the House), to increase the reconciliation instruction by the amount of the revenue reduction provided by such measures up to specified limits. Requires the House Ways and Means Committee to report a reconciliation bill no later than May 26, 2000, and September 22, 2000, that consists of changes in laws within its jurisdiction sufficient to reduce the public debt by $10 billion and up to $20 billion, respectively, for FY 2001. (Sec. 5) Makes it out of order in the House or the Senate to consider any revision to this or the FY 2002 concurrent budget resolution (or an amendment or conference report) that sets forth a deficit for any fiscal year. Expresses the sense of Congress that legislation should be enacted in this congressional session that would enforce the reduction of the public debt assumed in this resolution by the imposition of a statutory limit on such debt or other appropriate means. (Sec. 6) Makes it out of order in the House or the Senate to consider any reported bill or joint resolution (or any amendment or conference report) that would cause a surplus for FY 2001 to be less than the level (as adjusted for reconciliation or tax-related legislation, Medicare, or agriculture pursuant to this resolution) set forth in this resolution. Requires the level of the surplus to take into account amounts of allocations and budget aggregates adjusted pursuant to the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. (Sec. 7) Makes it out of order in the House or the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report if the enactment of the bill or resolution as reported, the adoption and enactment of the amendment, or the enactment of the bill or resolution in the form recommended in the conference report would cause a decrease in the on-budget surplus for FY 2000. Makes such point of order inapplicable to any such legislation or motion if it reduces revenues or implements structural social security or Medicare reform. Waives or suspends the point of order under this Act in the Senate only by an affirmative three-fifths majority vote. Requires the same majority to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on such point of order. Terminates this section on October 1, 2000. (Sec. 8) Requires the House Budget Committee chairman, upon the reporting of a reconciliation bill by the Ways and Means Committee or the offering of an amendment to, or the submission of a conference report on, H.R. 3081, H.R. 6, or H.R. 2990, whichever occurs first, to reduce to zero the amounts by which aggregate levels of Federal revenues should be reduced as set forth in this resolution. Directs the chairman, after such adjustments are made and such a bill is reported or such amendments or conference report are submitted, to increase the levels by which Federal revenues should be reduced by the reduction in revenue caused by the measure, with specified limits. (Sec. 9) Provides that whenever the Ways and Means Committee reports such a bill or whenever an amendment or conference report to the bills referenced above is submitted that would cause the level by which Federal revenues should be reduced, as adjusted, to be exceeded, the House Budget Committee chairman is authorized to increase the levels by which Federal revenues should be reduced by the amount exceeding the level resulting from the measure, with specified limits. (Sec. 10) Provides that if the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) updated budget forecast for FY 2001 projects an increase in the surplus for FY 2000, FY 2001, and the period of FY 2001 through 2005 over the corresponding levels set forth in the March 2000 economic and budget forecast for FY 2001, the House Budget Committee chairman may increase the levels by which Federal revenues should be reduced by the amount exceeding the level resulting from the bill, amendment, or conference report described above, but not to exceed the increase in the surplus set forth in the updated forecast. (Sec. 11) Authorizes the Budget Committee chairman, whenever the Ways and Means or Commerce Committees report legislation or an amendment or conference report thereon is submitted that reforms the Medicare program and provides coverage for prescription drugs, to increase the aggregates and allocations of new budget authority (and resulting outlays) by the amount provided by that measure, with specified limits. (Sec. 12) Authorizes the Budget Committee chairman, whenever the Agriculture Committee reports legislation or submits amendments or a conference report thereon that provides: (1) income support to farm owners and producers, to increase the allocation of new budget authority and outlays to that committee for FY 2000 by the amount of new budget authority and resulting outlays provided by that measure, with specified limits; and (2) risk management or income assistance for agricultural producers, to increase the allocation of new budget authority and outlays to that committee by the amount of new budget authority and resulting outlays, if such legislation does not exceed certain amounts of such authority and outlays. (Sec. 14) Requires the House Budget Committee chairman, whenever the Government Reform Committee reports a bill or submits an amendment or conference report thereon that permits Federal employees to immediately participate in the Thrift Savings Plan, to increase (if necessary) the levels by which Federal revenues should be reduced, with specified limits. (Sec. 15) Provides for the application and effect of changes in allocations and aggregates made pursuant to this resolution. (Sec. 16) Expresses the sense of the House with respect to: (1) the reduction of waste, fraud, and abuse within the Federal Government; (2) CBO estimates on impacts of proposed Federal regulations on the private sector; (3) biennial budgeting; (4) Internal Revenue Service consideration of net loss of income in determining proper taxation rates; and (5) stabilization of Federal revenue-sharing payments to States, counties, and boroughs. (Sec. 17) Expresses the sense of Congress with respect to: (1) the use within the classrooms of funds appropriated for elementary and secondary education programs; (2) funding emergencies; (3) affordable health care coverage for all Americans; (4) access to home health care for seniors and disabled citizens; (5) full funding of the Medicare+Choice program; (6) the National Science Foundation; (7) quality skilled nursing care and the Medicare benefit; (8) funding for special education; (9) the Federal employee pay increase for 2001; (10) the Health Care Financing Administration Medicaid School-Based Administrative Claiming Guide; and (11) modification of the Federal tax law to encourage asset-building of the working poor.
