HCR-Reconciliation Bill expires in 2015 or 2020?

[Nimrod1]

I've been trying to find this information on the Internet, but have been unable to find concrete information.

I understand reconciliation has an expiration date of either 5 or 10 years. I thought it was 10 years, but I read that the budget window set up by Senator Kent Conrad (North Dakota) is for only 5 years.

So, does this bill have to be renewed in 5 or 10 years?

2. Thanks. It sounds like 2020 is the expiration date

And not 2015. Thanks for the document.

3. The same as with the Bush tax cuts. n/t

4. Well, no

Bush's 2001 tax cuts had a 10-year sunset provision to get past the Byrd rule of not adding deficits.
