        year's annual appropriations.
            (4) Nonsecurity discretionary appropriations.--The term 
        ``nonsecurity discretionary appropriations'' means 
        discretionary appropriations provided in a regular 
        appropriation Act that are not included in the security 
        category.
            (5) Regular appropriation act.--The term ``regular 
        appropriation Act''--
                    (A) means an annual appropriation Act (as described 
                in section 105 of title 1, United States Code) 
                providing new budget authority for the programs, 
                projects, and activities under the jurisdiction of a

                        of an Act or resolution that, if it were a 
                        separate Act, would be an Act described in 
                        subparagraph (A); and
                            (ii) a resolution or Act, or a title, 
                        division, or other subdivision of a resolution 
                        or Act, making continuing appropriations for a 
                        fiscal year.
    (b) Rescission.--For fiscal year 2026 and each fiscal year 
thereafter, effective on the day after the date on which appropriations 
are made available through September 30 of the applicable fiscal year 
for the entire Federal Government, there is rescinded, on a pro rata 
basis, the excess growth percent of the nonsecurity discretionary 
appropriations made available for such fiscal year.
