BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for July 2019. The report compares current-law
levels of spending and revenues with the amounts the Senate agreed to
in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, BBA18. This information is
necessary for the Senate Budget Committee to determine whether
budgetary points of order lie against pending legislation. The
Republican staff of the Budget Committee and the Congressional Budget
Office, CBO, prepared this report pursuant to section 308(b) of the
Congressional Budget Act, CBA.
This is my sixth scorekeeping report this year. My last filing can be
found in the Congressional Record for June 26, 2019. The information
included in this report is current through July 26, 2019.
Since my last filing, Congress has cleared four pieces of legislation
with significant budgetary effects. The first, the Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at
the Southern Border Act, 2019, P.L. 116-26, provided nearly $4.6
billion in emergency funding to address needs at the Nation's southern
border. The second measure with significant budgetary effects, P.L.
116-29, provided for a 2-week extension of the Medicaid community
health services demonstration program. The third, the Protecting
Affordable Mortgages for Veterans Act of 2019, P.L. 116-33, revises
loan seasoning requirements related to a refinanced Veterans Affairs
housing loan. The fourth, the Never Forget the Heroes: James Zadroga,
Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September
11th Victim Compensation Fund Act, P.L. 116-34, appropriates such sums
as necessary for the Victims Compensation Fund to pay claims to
eligible victims through fiscal year 2029 and fully compensate
claimants who have received reduced awards in the past because of
declining balances in the fund.
[[Page S5236]]
Budget Committee Republican staff prepared Tables A-C.
Table A gives the amount by which each Senate authorizing committee
exceeds or is below its allocation for budget authority and outlays
under the fiscal year 2019 enforceable levels filing required by BBA18.
This information is used for enforcing committee allocations pursuant
to section 302 of the CBA. For this reporting period, 9 of the 16
authorizing committees are not in compliance with their allocations.
Over the current 10-year enforceable window, authorizing committees
have increased outlays by a combined $13.0 billion. Of the bills
clearing Congress this reporting period, P.L. 116-34 added to the
Judiciary Committee's existing violations, including an increase in
spending of $9.4 billion over the 10-year window, P.L. 116-33 reduced
the Banking Committee's allocation violation by $3 million in each
enforceable window, and P.L. 116-29 added $5 million to the Finance
Committee's existing fiscal year 2019 violations.
Table B provides the amount by which the Senate Committee on
Appropriations is below or exceeds the statutory spending limits. This
information is used to determine points of order related to the
spending caps found in sections 312 and 314 of the CBA. Appropriations
for fiscal year 2019, displayed in this table, show that the
Appropriations Committee is compliant with spending limits for the
current fiscal year. Those limits for regular discretionary spending
are $647 billion for accounts in the defense category and $597 billion
for accounts in the nondefense category of spending.
The fiscal year 2018 budget resolution contained points of order
limiting the use of changes in mandatory programs in appropriations
bills, CHIMPs. Table C, which tracks the CHIMP limit of $15 billion for
fiscal year 2019, shows the Appropriations Committee has enacted $15
billion worth of full-year CHIMPs for this fiscal year.
In addition to the tables provided by Budget Committee Republican
staff, I am submitting CBO tables, which I will use to enforce budget
totals approved by Congress.
For fiscal year 2019, CBO estimates that current-law levels are $2.9
billion above and $3.3 billion below enforceable levels for budget
authority and outlays, respectively. These levels were adjusted to
accommodate the budget authority and outlay effects of P.L. 116-26, as
that funding was designated as an emergency and qualified for an
equivalent and concurrent increase in enforceable levels under existing
statute. Revenues are $426 million below the level assumed in the
budget resolution. Further, Social Security revenues are at the levels
assumed for fiscal year 2019, while Social Security outlays are $4
million above assumed levels for the budget year.
CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate
pay-as-you-go, PAYGO, rule. The PAYGO scorecard shows deficit increases
in fiscal year 2019 of $1,959 million, $427 million revenue loss,
$1,532 million outlay increase; over the fiscal year 2018-2023 period
of $3,409 million, $907 million revenue loss, $2,502 million outlay
increase; and over the fiscal year 2018-2028 period of $797 million,
$798 million revenue loss, $1 million outlay decrease. During this
reporting period, P.L. 116-33 reduced the deficit by $3 million over
the fiscal year 2019, fiscal year 2018-2023, and fiscal year 2018-2028
periods, and P.L. 116-29 increased the deficit by $5 million in fiscal
year 2019. P.L. 116-34's budgetary effects are not included in this
table or the PAYGO scorecard pursuant to the direction included in the
statutory text.
This submission also includes a table tracking the Senate's budget
enforcement activity on the floor since the enforcement filing on May
7, 2018. Since my last report, no new budgetary points of order were
raised.
All years in the accompanying tables are fiscal years.
I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables be printed in
the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:

n.a. = not applicable; P.L. = public law.
a Includes the budgetary effects of legislation enacted by Congress during the 115th Congress.
b Sections 1001-1004 of the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255) require that certain funding provided for 2017
through 2026 to the Department of Health and Human Services--in particular the Food and Drug Administration
and the National Institutes of Health--be excluded from estimates for the purposes of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Deficit Control Act) or the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act of 1974 (Congressional Budget Act). Therefore, the amounts shown in this report do not include
$781 million in budget authority and $770 million in estimated outlays.
c For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the Senate, the resolution, as
approved by the Senate, does not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a
result, amounts in this current level report do not include those items.
d The Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-5), as amended, extended several immigration programs
through February 15, 2019, that would otherwise have expired at the end of fiscal year 2018. The estimated
budgetary effects of those previously enacted extensions are charged to the Committee on Appropriations, and
are included in the budgetary effects of P.L. 116-6 shown in the ``Appropriation Legislation'' portion of this
report. In addition, division H of P.L. 116-6 further extended those same programs through the end of fiscal
year 2019. Consistent with the language in title III of division H of P.L. 116-6, and at the direction of the
Senate Committee on the Budget, the budgetary effects of extending those immigration programs for the
remainder of the fiscal year are charged to the relevant authorizing committees, and are shown in the
``Authorizing Legislation'' portion of this report.
e Section 30103 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 requires the Chair of the Senate Committee on the Budget to
publish the aggregate spending and revenue levels for fiscal year 2019; those aggregate levels were first
published in the Congressional Record on May 7, 2018. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 also allows the Chair
of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise the budgetary aggregates:
