Talk:Appropriation bill

Canada
I'm not exactly sure what in Canada serves this purpose, we don't seem to identify with these terms, I assume it's just 'The Budget' SJrX10 (talk) 21:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

In Canada a "money" bill that implements the budget speach is known as a Supply Bill. Parliament (and provincial legistlatures) must vote supply, thus a minority government can also fall it it fails to secure a majority vote on a supply bill.

An example, form the www.parl.gc.ca C-6R — The President of the Treasury Board — An Act for granting to Her Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration for the financial year ending March 31, 2010 Supplementary Estimates (C), 2009-2010 — Concurred in — March 23, 2010 (See Business of Supply No. 3) Read the first time; read the second time and referred to a Committee of the Whole; considered in Committee of the Whole; reported without amendment; concurred in at report stage; read the third time and passed Passed by the Senate — March 30, 2010	Adoption par le Sénat — 30 mars 2010 Royal Assent (Chapter No. 1) — March 31, 2010

new article Federal Appropriations (United States)
As far as I can tell, there's no article dedicated to the Federal (i.e. United States) appropriations process. The public-domain source I've included above should provide good seed material. Agradman talk/contribs 02:34, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

This article says "According to the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 7, clause 1), all bills relating to revenue, generally tax bills, must originate in the House of Representatives, consistent with the Westminster system requiring all money bills to originate in the lower house which is why the appropriations bills that are enacted begin with "H.R.", indicating a bill that originated in the House." It starts out talking about revenue bills, and then jumps to appropriations without mentioning constitutional or statutory authority.

In addition, HR stands for House Resolution, and isn't confined to money bills, to my knowledge; again, there's no Constitutional mandate that I'm aware of requiring appropriation bills also to be initiated by the House.Georgia Yankee (talk) 20:56, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Military appropriations
The Constitution says that Congress has power "To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years." Appropriations for the Navy, and the Air Force can be for more than two years. Congress has power "To provide and maintain a Navy" but that clause follows the earlier one on Armies. --DThomsen8 (talk) 01:53, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Australian Appropriation Bills
Australian Parliament uses these terms but there is no content on the Australian system other than the vague mention of Whitlam's Dismissal by Sir John Kerr. Could someone please add appropriate content?

Merger with Money bill
Is this another name for a money bill? Both articles even refer to the same term, "supply bill". Should they be merged? &mdash;ajf (talk) 21:27, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. A money bill is about taxation (revenue) or spending, while an appropriation bill, especially in the United States, is only about spending (although it seems that an appropriation bill in New Zealand can be about both taxation and spending). --Neo-Jay (talk) 03:39, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
