Acts that built and amended the outlay provision

15 ONC § 1A-104 is not original text. These are the acts that wrote it, and the one that removed most of it.

Other legislation this record cites

15 ONC § 1-103 requires legislation for a special session to be filed with the Clerk at least 3 business days before the session, and the record quotes the section in full. August 3, 2026, the stamp date on ONCA 26-36 and ONCA 26-37, is three business days before the special session of August 6, 2026. The record does not describe what the other acts listed here provide.

Method notes

  • Quotations are verbatim, from a recording or an enacted document, at a stated date.
  • Figures come from the enacted version of each resolution or act. The one exception is ONCR 25-01, one of the ten FY2021 to FY2027 projected revenue resolutions in the series reviewed on the record. Its figures on the record were originally read from the engrossed version because the enacted link returned an error; that link now resolves, and the enacted text matches the engrossed figures exactly at ONCR 25-01, enacted.
  • No FY2022 projected-revenue resolution appears in the enacted fiscal documents table. The record names no enacted projected-revenue resolution for FY2022.
  • The Nation's audio file for the September 24, 2024 Appropriations meeting carries 2023 in its filename. The meeting is the 2024 one.
  • Every quotation can be checked against the recording or enacted document it comes from.

Corrections and additions

If something here is wrong, or you hold a document that answers one of the open questions, please send it to corrections@sixtymillion.org. Corrections are published on this record with the date they were made. For anything else, write to contact@sixtymillion.org.

Documents are more useful than descriptions of them. A page number, a resolution number, or a date is enough to work from.
