(119th Congress)
Summary
H.Res. 313 is a resolution providing for the consideration of the Senate amendment to H. Con. Res. 14, which establishes the congressional budget for the U.S. government for fiscal year 2025 and sets budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

Constitutional Alignment
The resolution aligns with Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution, which grants each house of Congress the power to determine the rules of its proceedings.
