This bill, the Stop the Baseline Bloat Act of 2025, would change a part of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. It would require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to exclude resources that are designated as an emergency requirement and any resources provided in supplemental appropriations laws from CBO baseline projections for discretionary appropriations. The bill was introduced in the House on June 11, 2025, and was referred to the House Committee on the Budget. Sponsors listed include Glenn Grothman, Ed Case, Marie Perez, Jared Golden, Adam Gray, Marlin Stutzman, Ben Cline, Ralph Norman, Ron Estes, and Eugene Vindman.
