budget bill
Government funding proposal
A budget bill is legislation that allocates government funds for a specific period, typically a fiscal year.
It authorizes spending across departments and programs, setting limits on what agencies can spend.
Budget bills often become focal points for political conflict: The budget bill stalled in the Senate over defense spending.
In parliamentary systems, failing to pass a budget bill can trigger a government collapse.
