The appropriations committee for each chamber divides the amount allotted for federal agency funding between 12 subcommittees.
Each subcommittee is in charge of funding for different functions of government, such as defense spending, energy and water, and interior and environment, and for the agencies involved. The subcommittees conduct hearings with agency leaders about their budget requests and draft appropriations bills setting the funding for each. The full House and Senate vote on their bills, merge both versions of each one, and vote on the identical version of every bill.
Each one, if passed, goes to the president for signature. If Congress passes, and the president signs, all 12 bills by September 30—the last day of the current fiscal year—the country has a new budget in time for the start of the next fiscal year.
In the event of a shutdown, the government stops issuing passports, closes national parks and monuments, halts NASA operations, and puts many other functions on hold. When the budget process is finally complete or Congress passes a continuing resolution, the government resumes normal operations. To see the approved federal budget for a year, you must look at the appropriations bills for that year that were signed into law.
Go to the Appropriations and Budget page on Congress. A chart will open. Scroll down to find various versions of budget legislation in it. The second concerned the roles the House and Senate would play in setting fiscal policy. At the Convention, the framers considered the extent to which the Senate—like the House of Lords—should be limited in its consideration of budget bills. The provision was part of a compromise between the large and small states.
Smaller states, which would be over-represented in the Senate, would concede the power to originate money bills to the House, where states with larger populations would have greater control. This end would.
The Convention reconsidered the matter over the course of two months, but the provision was finally adopted, nine to two, in September The constitutional provision making Congress the ultimate authority on government spending passed with far less debate.
The framers were unanimous that Congress, as the representatives of the people, should be in control of public funds—not the President or executive branch agencies. The First Congress — passed the first appropriations act—a mere 13 lines long—a few months after it convened.
This simple process was short-lived. Over time, nine regular appropriation bills emerged and funded such priorities as pensions, harbors, the post office, and the military.
These were considered on an annual basis by the late s. The House Committee on Ways and Means, which also had jurisdiction over tax policy, controlled the appropriations process. But legislation and funding were always kept separate.
Priorities were spelled out in one law and money appropriated for those priorities in another. If both chambers of the legislature fail to adopt it, they have to start the entire conference process over again.
If lawmakers fail to pass the budget within their alloted legislative session, they will either have to extend the legislative session with a three-fifths of a vote of the Senate and House, or have the governor call for a special session.
Delays in turning the budget into law may come from gridlock within the legislative chambers themselves, line-item vetoes from the governor, as well as legislative power to overturn the vetoes. If a new budget isn't passed by the start of a new fiscal year, a state government shutdown is inevitable. Although Florida has never in its history gone through a state government shutdown, it came close in -- with the budget passed one day before the start of the new fiscal year -- as well as in over healthcare funding , according to WFSU in Tallahassee.
Under a state government shutdown, like federal shutdowns, servies deemed "non-essential" will stop operating, and non-essential state workers will be furloughed. Non-essential state services include, but are not limited to, state parks and beaches, road projects, courts, and state agencies like the Department of Motor Vehicles.
