If Congress appropriates less than a law authorized for a given year, this rule kicks in. The unspent difference automatically becomes authorized for later years instead.

Suppose a law or amendment in this Act authorizes a specific amount of money for a specific purpose in a specific fiscal year, but Congress actually appropriates a smaller amount for that year. In that case, this section treats that law as also authorizing appropriations, for that same purpose, in later fiscal years — equal to the gap between the amount authorized and the amount actually appropriated.

If, in making an appropriation under any provision of this Act or amendment made by this Act that authorizes the making of an appropriation for a certain purpose for a certain fiscal year in a certain amount, the Congress makes an appropriation for that purpose for that fiscal year in a lesser amount, that provision or amendment shall be considered to authorize the making of appropriations for that purpose for later fiscal years in an amount equal to the difference between the amount authorized to be appropriated and the amount that has been appropriated.
