Enforce the Caps Act

Enforce the Caps Act would amend the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to set explicit discretionary spending limits (caps) for four upcoming fiscal years. Specifically, it adds four new annual caps for the discretionary category—FY 2026 through FY 2029—expressed as the amount of new budget authority (the government’s authority to incur spending) that can be provided in those years. The stated figures are: - FY 2026: $1,621,959,000,000 - FY 2027: $1,638,179,000,000 - FY 2028: $1,654,560,000,000 - FY 2029: $1,671,106,000,000 In short, the bill formalizes four fixed spending ceilings for discretionary programs for those years, thereby constraining Congress’s annual appropriations decisions to stay within these caps.
