Read twice and referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
Bill 119 s 360, also known as the Across-the-Board Rescissions of Nonsecurity Discretionary Spending Act, is a proposed piece of legislation in the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to cut nonsecurity discretionary spending across the board.

Nonsecurity discretionary spending refers to government spending that is not related to national security or defense. This can include funding for education, healthcare, infrastructure, and other domestic programs.

If passed, this bill would require a reduction in spending for these nonsecurity discretionary programs. The exact amount of the cuts would be determined by the government and would apply to all programs within this category. Supporters of the bill argue that cutting spending in this way is necessary to reduce the overall federal budget deficit and promote fiscal responsibility. They believe that across-the-board rescissions are a fair and efficient way to achieve these goals. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that across-the-board cuts can be harmful and inefficient. They believe that targeted cuts to specific programs would be a better approach to reducing spending while still protecting important services and investments. Overall, Bill 119 s 360 is a controversial piece of legislation that aims to reduce nonsecurity discretionary spending through across-the-board rescissions. Its impact on government programs and services, as well as its effectiveness in reducing the federal budget deficit, remain subjects of debate among lawmakers and the public.
