H.R. 4966, Sequester Replacement Act of 2012
cost estimate May 08, 2012As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Budget on May 7, 2012
H.R. 4966 would eliminate certain automatic spending reductions scheduled to take effect in January 2013, as well as reduce the overall limit on discretionary budget authority for fiscal year 2013.
