The proposed bill seeks to strengthen fiscal discipline in the public sector. It prescribes a set of principles that promote fiscal sustainability and prudent spending by ending the proliferation of unfunded laws through the implementation of an off-setting mechanism. It also seeks to institutionalize the Performance-Informed Budgeting started in 2013. Salient provisions of the bill are the inclusion of major final outputs and performance indicators in the formulation of the annual budget to be passed by Congress, restriction on the release of Personnel Services appropriations based on the information provided in the Govern- ment Manpower Information Service, and all expenditure bills to be passed by Congress must be offset by measures that provide for a permanent increase in revenue or a perma- nent reduction in other expenditures.
