42 U.S.C. § 11303: Funding availability and limitations

The amounts authorized in this chapter shall be in addition to any amount appropriated for the programs involved before July 22, 1987 . Any amount appropriated under an authorization in this chapter shall remain available until expended. Appropriations pursuant to the authorizations in this chapter shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which prohibits the consideration of any bill that would cause the deficit to exceed the levels established by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, such that it shall not increase the deficit of the Federal Government for fiscal year 1987. This Act and the amendments made by this Act [see Short Title of 1988 Amendment note set out under section 11301 of this title ] may not be construed to provide for new budget authority, budget outlays, or new entitlement authority, for fiscal year 1989 or 1990 in excess of the appropriate aggregate levels established by the concurrent resolution on the budget for such fiscal year for the programs authorized by this Act and the amendments made by this Act. For purposes of this section, the terms ‘budget authority’, ‘budget outlays’, ‘concurrent resolution on the budget’, and ‘entitlement authority’ have the meanings given such terms in section 3 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 ( 2 U.S.C. 622 ).”
