Bill 118 hr 3673, also known as the "Rescission Act," aims to rescind or cancel certain unobligated balances of funds that have not yet been spent by the federal government. The bill is intended to help reduce government spending and ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently.
The bill specifies that the rescinded funds must come from accounts that have not been obligated for at least two years and are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were originally allocated. This process of rescinding unobligated balances is a common practice in Congress to help streamline government spending and prevent wasteful use of taxpayer money.
In addition to rescinding unobligated balances, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details are not provided in the summary. Overall, the Rescission Act is aimed at promoting fiscal responsibility and ensuring that government funds are being used effectively and efficiently.
