Dossier Legislative introduced 22-apr-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

No Bias in the Baseline Act

Key claim: The No Bias in the Baseline Act (S.4372, 119th Congress) was introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on the Budget to alter federal budget baseline rules.

Abstract

(S4372 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-04-22): Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Budget.

Why this matters

Budget baseline rules determine the default assumptions used to score the cost of tax legislation, shaping whether expiring tax cuts or scheduled changes are treated as revenue losses or as part of current law. Altering baseline construction could shift how future tax proposals — including extensions of expiring provisions — are measured against deficit-neutrality standards. The bill is at an early procedural stage with limited public detail.
