How This Impacts Americans
Potential effects on citizens and communities
If this bill becomes law, it would have a limited direct impact on most Americans. The bill sets the rules for how Congress will consider and vote on several spending bills, but does not itself make changes to government programs or services. The only groups that would be directly affected are members of Congress and their staff, who would have to follow the procedures outlined in this bill during the legislative process.
