This House resolution (H. Res. 590) is a procedural move related to a separate bill, H.R. 4. Upon adoption, the House is directed to take up H.R. 4, which would rescind certain budget authority that the President proposed to rescind in special messages transmitted to Congress on June 3, 2025 under section 1012(a) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The resolution specifies that the House will consider H.R. 4 with the Senate’s amendment and then concur in that amendment. In short, this resolution moves the House to adopt and act on the Senate-amended version of a bill aimed at implementing the President’s proposed budget rescissions.

Instead, it determines the procedural path for enacting the Senate’s version of H.R. 4, which would carry out the rescissions described in the President’s June 3, 2025 impoundment messages. The substantive policy implications depend on the details of H.R. 4 and the specific budget authority proposed to be rescinded.
