2025 Reconciliation Tracker

Updated 4/16/25: On April 10, following action in the Senate, the House adopted a final concurrent budget resolution setting the stage for work on a future reconciliation bill. This version of the resolution was first adopted by the Senate on April 5, which amended an earlier House budget resolution. The Senate’s April 5 amendment adds reconciliation instructions for the Senate that require only $4 billion in gross deficit reductions and allow a $5.8 trillion net deficit increase, while the House instructions require $2 trillion in gross deficit reductions and allow a $2.8 trillion net deficit increase.

Additionally, reporting indicates that some committees will soon begin marking up their portions of the reconciliation bill. In the House, the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Agriculture Committee are reported to begin markups the week of May 5, while the Judiciary, Homeland Security, and Armed Services Committees may markup their portions during the last week of April. The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee may markup its section on April 30.

Now that the House and Senate have adopted the same budget resolution with reconciliation instructions, lawmakers are discussing what to include in a forthcoming reconciliation package (see all of our resources here). We'll be tracking the portions of the package as they are released, marked up in committee, combined, and voted on. Below is a brief summary of where we are in the process with tables tracking the House and Senate bills. Check back for regular updates.

The below tables 1 will be updated as lawmakers make progress on the final budget resolution and subsequent reconciliation bill.

1 Due to House and Senate committees having different jurisdictions, the reconciliation instructions would be different for each chamber even if they both adopted resolutions with consistent instructions for deficit increases and decreases.
