Next Steps:
The budget timeline for FY 2011 is slightly delayed than in past years. During the HHS Appropriations Subcommittee on July 27, 2010, Senator Harkin said he believes Congress will be working on a budget up until December 2010 or even January 2011.
There are a number of steps before FY 2011 final budget is approved and allocated. This budget needs to be voted and passed by Congress then signed by the President. This includes a full House Appropriations Committee vote on the budget itself and if passed, proceeds to the House floor for a vote.
Once both chambers of congress vote on a full appropriations bill which they have created, they must merge the bills together to form one bill to vote on. Once that process is finished, both chambers must bring the same bill to their respective chambers, pass it, and then have the President sign the bill. There could be changes to the numbers outlined, at any given time.
