Bill 118 s 331, also known as the "1 percent across-the-board rescissions in non-defense, non-homeland-security, and non-veterans-affairs discretionary spending for fiscal years 2024 and 2025" bill, proposes to make cuts to government spending in specific areas. The bill aims to reduce spending by 1 percent in non-defense, non-homeland-security, and non-veterans-affairs discretionary spending for the fiscal years 2024 and 2025.

Overall, Bill 118 s 331 proposes targeted cuts to non-defense, non-homeland-security, and non-veterans-affairs discretionary spending for the fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
