*"*Sequestration sends a signal that the United States is backtracking on its commitment to reform and its long-standing promise to promote equity through Title I and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA." *Fiscal year 2013 is a little more than two months away and sequestration kicks in three months after that on January 2nd -- so it's critically important that we – and the American people – fully understand the consequences of sequestration and take steps to avoid it now.* *The sequestration will put at risk all that we've accomplished in education and weaken ... more »

    What is Sequestration?

    Sequestration: A Glossary of Political Economy ... - Auburn University


    Sequestration. Originally a legal term referring generally to the act of valuable property being taken into custody by an agent of the court and locked away for safekeeping, usually to prevent the property from being disposed of or abused before a dispute over its ownership can be resolved. But the term has been adapted by Congress in more recent years to describe a new fiscal policy procedure originally provided for in the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Act of 1985 -- an effort to reform Congressional voting procedures so as to make the size of the Federal government's budget deficit a matter of conscious choice rather than simply the arithmetical outcome of a decentralized appropriations process in which no one ever looked at the cumulative results until it was too late to change them. If the dozen or so appropriation bills passed separately by Congress provide for total government spending in excess of the limits Congress earlier laid down for itself in the annual Budget Resolution, and if Congress cannot agree on ways to cut back the total (or does not pass a new, higher Budget Resolution), then an "automatic" form of spending cutback takes place. This automatic spending cut is what is called "sequestration."



    Sequestration: What it Means and How Government Contractors ...


    The Budget Control Act of 2011 establishes a process, known as sequestration, whereby automatic, across-the-board spending cuts are scheduled to occur in January 2013. These cuts are currently slated to affect both mandatory and discretionary spending and are predicted to produce roughly $108 billion in annual spending reductions through 2021, split evenly between defense and non-defense accounts. This 90-minute webinar will provide a background of the sequestration process and an overview of the Budget Control Act of 2011 to help you understand the legal environment surrounding the Act. In tandem, it will address particular types of contract vehicles and contract actions that likely will or will not be affected by these cuts.
