Legislation
``Sec. 441. Point of order against changes in mandatory programs

SEC. 505. IMPOUNDMENTS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 681 et
seq.) prevents the executive branch from unilaterally
rescinding budget authority appropriated by Congress.
(2) One of the stated purposes of the Congressional Budget
and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) is
``to establish a procedure providing congressional control over
the impoundment of funds by the executive branch''.
(3) The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 681 et
seq.) requires congressional approval for any rescission
proposed by the executive branch.
(4) The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 681 et
seq.) allows the executive branch to withhold funds for a
limited time to accommodate congressional consideration of a
rescission proposal, but does not delegate rescission authority
from Congress to the executive branch by permitting the
executive branch to withhold funds until budget authority
lapses.
(5) The Government Accountability Office affirmed in a
legal opinion on December 10, 2018 that, ``the ICA does not
permit the withholding of funds through their date of
expiration'' and ``requires that budget authority be made
available in sufficient time to be prudently obligated''.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this section, and the amendment made
by this section, is to provide increased fiscal transparency and expand
upon the existing requirements under the Impoundment Control Act of
1974 (2 U.S.C. 681 et seq.) to make budget authority prudently
available for obligation.
(c) Amendment.--The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 681
et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``SEC. 1018. REPORTS.
