[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The proposals for social services in current bills for new laws and plans related to established programs from previous years are part of discretionary spending in the federal budget. Plans related to established programs from previous years can include programs that are not mandatory but are funded through the discretionary portion of the budget. Plans for funding national, state, and local elections and plans for programs from new laws signed within the past year are typically not part of discretionary spending, as they are considered mandatory spending categories.
