              TARGETED TAX BENEFITS.

    (a) In General.--Section 1012 of the Congressional Budget and 
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 683) is amended to read as 
follows:

       ``expedited consideration of certain proposed rescissions

    ``Sec. 1012. (a) Proposed Rescission of Budget Authority or Repeal 
of Targeted Tax Benefits.--The President may propose, at the time and 
in the manner provided in subsection (b), the rescission of any budget 
authority provided in an appropriation Act or repeal of any targeted 
tax benefit provided in any revenue Act. Funds made available for 
obligation under this procedure may not be proposed for rescission 
again under this section.
    ``(b) Transmittal of Special Message.--
            ``(1) The President may transmit to Congress a special 
        message proposing to rescind amounts of budget authority or to 
        repeal any targeted tax benefit and include with with that 
        special message a draft bill that, if enacted, would only 
        rescind that budget authority or repeal that targeted tax 
        benefit. That bill shall clearly identify the amount of budget 
        authority that is proposed to be rescinded for each program, 
        project, or activity to which that budget authority relates or 
        the targeted tax benefit proposed to be repealed, as the case 
        may be. It shall include a Deficit Reduction Account. The 
        President may place in the Deficit Reduction Account an amount 
        not to exceed the total rescissions in that bill. A targeted 
        tax benefit may only be proposed to be repealed under this 
        section during the 20-calendar-day period (excluding Saturdays, 
        Sundays, and legal holidays) commencing on the day after the 
        date of enactment of the provision proposed to be repealed.
            ``(2) In the case of an appropriation Act that includes 
        accounts within the jurisdiction of more than one subcommittee 
        of the Committee on Appropriations, the President in proposing 
        to rescind budget authority under this section shall send a 
        separate special message and accompanying draft bill for 
        accounts within the jurisdiction of each such subcommittee.
            ``(3) Each special message shall specify, with respect to 
        the budget authority proposed to be rescinded, the following--
                    ``(A) the amount of budget authority which he 
                proposes to be rescinded;
                    ``(B) any account, department, or establishment of 
                the Government to which such budget authority is 
                available for obligation, and the specific project or 
                governmental functions involved;
                    ``(C) the reasons why the budget authority should 
                be rescinded;
                    ``(D) to the maximum extent practicable, the 
                estimated fiscal, economic, and budgetary effect 
                (including the effect on outlays and receipts in each 
                fiscal year) of the proposed rescission; and
                    ``(E) all facts, circumstances, and considerations 
                relating to or bearing upon the proposed rescission and 
                the decision to effect the proposed rescission, and to 
                the maximum extent practicable, the estimated effect of 
                the proposed rescission upon the objects, purposes, and 
                programs for which the budget authority is provided.
        Each special message shall specify, with respect to the 
        proposed repeal of targeted tax benefits, the information 
        required by subparagraphs (C), (D), and (E), as it relates to 
        the proposed repeal.

    (d) Clerical Amendments.--The item relating to section 1012 in the

``Sec. 1012. Expedited consideration of certain proposed rescissions 
                            and targeted tax benefits.''.

Summary: Amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to replace provisions regarding the rescission of budget authority with those authorizing the President to propose the rescission of any budget authority provided in an appropriation Act or repeal of any targeted tax benefit provided in any revenue Act. 
Authorizes the President to transmit a draft bill to the Congress with such a proposal that clearly identifies the budget authority proposed to be rescinded or the targeted tax benefit to be repealed. Includes within such bill a Deficit Reduction Account.  Permits the President to place in the Account an amount not to exceed total rescissions in the bill. 
Establishes expedited procedures in the Senate and the House of Representatives for consideration of such bill. 
Makes any amount of budget authority proposed to be rescinded available for obligation on the day after the date either House rejects such bill.  Deems any targeted tax benefit proposed for repeal to be repealed unless either House rejects such bill during a prescribed time frame.
