A bill to provide new discretionary spending limits for fiscal year 2002, and for other purposes.

This bill would increase the federal government's spending limits for the 2002 fiscal year to allow for higher funding levels, particularly in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. It updates budget rules to ensure that emergency spending for national security and recovery efforts does not trigger automatic cuts to other government programs. By raising these caps, the legislation enables the government to allocate more resources toward defense and domestic priorities than previously permitted under existing budget laws.
