No WAR Act No War Appropriations through Reconciliation Act
To amend the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to provide for a point of order against reconciliation measures that provide budget authority for unauthorized military operations against Iran, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB8592, proposes to change the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. It would make it so that any budget plan that tries to give money for unauthorized military actions against Iran cannot go through a special process called "reconciliation." This means lawmakers would have to follow a more complicated path to approve such actions, which could make it harder to fund them.
The bill would mainly affect lawmakers by changing how they can approve budgets for military actions. It aims to prevent unauthorized military operations against Iran without going through the usual legislative process. This could influence decisions about military funding and foreign policy.
As of the last update, the bill was introduced on April 30, 2026, and referred to the Committee on Rules and the Committee on the Budget. It is in the early stages of the legislative process, and more steps will be needed before it can become law.
