Referred to the Committee on the Budget, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Super Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2026 strengthens federal budget rules by requiring that any legislation affecting spending or taxes must produce at least twice as much deficit reduction as it costs. For example, a bill that increases spending or cuts revenues by $100 billion would need to include at least $200 billion in spending cuts or revenue increases to qualify. The legislation affects Congress and the Office of Management and Budget, which must track these "Super PAYGO" requirements on scorecards covering 5 and 10-year periods. The bill makes it much harder to bypass these rules, requiring emergency designations to meet strict criteria and expire within 24 months, and preventing lawmakers from tucking deficit-increase provisions into larger bills without separate votes. The Congressional Budget Office must now evaluate whether bills meet these tougher standards in its cost estimates, and OMB must publicly report annually on deficit reduction achieved and any waivers granted. The requirements apply immediately to any legislation passed after the bill's enactment.
