The principal law within the Subcommittee's purview
is the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act
of 1974. Also, the Subcommittee enjoys jurisdiction over
budget process related provisions found in Part C of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985
and the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. The Subcommittee
also exercises oversight of the congressional budget process.
In previous Congresses, the subcommittee has played
primary roles in the drafting and passage of the line
item veto, conducted extensive oversight of the budget
process resulting in numerous reform recommendations and
examined the impact of executive orders on the legislative
process.
