House Reconciliation Bill Overview, June 2025
Budget reconciliation is a process used by the U.S. Congress to pass certain budget-related provisions with a simple majority vote in both the House of Representatives and Senate, bypassing a Senate filibuster. It is a tool used to implement key parts of the President’s domestic policy agenda when a political party controls both the House and Senate, and the White House. The reconciliation legislation is specific to changes in federal spending, revenues, and/or the debt limit and is limited to changes lasting for a 10-year window. Identical language must be passed by the House and the Senate before it can be sent to the President for his signature.
