prior to such consideration during that calendar year, cause an adverse 
impact on the net present value of the Government's overall liabilities 
and commitments incurred by that measure over 75 years or an indefinite 
time horizon that is greater than 1.25 percent of the present 
discounted value of all future payrolls. The calculation required by 
this subsection shall assume that the legislative measure subject to 
the point of order will be a permanent change in law and disregard any 
changes in the terms of the legislative measure and any formula or 
mechanism for adjustments in the recommendations beyond the date of 
enactment to the extent that such change, formula, or mechanism 
increases the net present value of the Government's overall liabilities 
or commitments over 75 years or an indefinite time horizon.''.

                the on-budget deficit, or causes an on-budget deficit 
                when taken individually, then it must also decrease the 
                on-budget surplus, increase the on-budget deficit, or 
                cause an on-budget deficit when taken together with all 
                direct spending and revenue legislation enacted since 
                the beginning of the calendar year not accounted for in

        joint resolution, as the case may be. An affirmative vote of 
        three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and

            (5) Declaration of war.--This subsection shall not apply in 
        any fiscal year in which a declaration of war is in effect.

Summary: Honest Government Accounting Act of 2003 - Requires, in a current annual report from the Secretary of the Treasury to the President and Congress on the overall financial position of the US Government, the preparation of a net present value calculation of all major Government liabilities and commitments, including outstanding debt held by the public and all social insurance entitlements such as Social Security and Medicare. Requires each calculation to: (1) be prepared for both a 75-year horizon and an indefinite time horizon. And (2) include the financial and demographic assumptions and details of the methods used in making the calculations. Mandates that if the total of debt held by the public added to the net present value calculation of the overall liabilities and commitments of the Government exceeds 1.25 percent of the present discounted value of all future payrolls no later than September 15, 2005, the President shall submit to Congress and the Commission on Long-Term Government Liabilities and Commitments a plan to reduce that percentage to 1.25 or less. Establishes such Commission to make recommendations to the President and Congress for ensuring that such percentage is no greater than 1.25 percent as of September 11, 2011. Requires the President to report to Congress on any legislative recommendations included in the President's budget which have an adverse impact greater than 0.25 percent of the present discounted value of all future payrolls over 75 years or over an indefinite time horizon, as well as a plan to bring the percentage back to 1.25 by September 11, 2011. Amends the Congressional Budget Act to require budget resolutions to include calculations for the immediately preceding fiscal year of the impact of the resolution on the net present value of the Government's overall liabilities and commitments for both the 75-year and indefinite time horizon. Establishes a point of order against legislation that adversely affects the 1.25 percent by 0.25 percent or more. Directs the Secretary to analyze and report to Congress on the methodology and utility of preparing calculations of the net present value of specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that defer tax liability or cause long-term revenue effects that are not captured in a cash flow estimate over five or ten years. Bars the use of expedited procedures to enact legislation which has an adverse impact on the budget deficit or reduces the budget surplus. Amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to reinstate the pay-as-you-go budgetary requirements of such Act.
