What this amendment would do

As folks working for you in Congress, we need to make sure our government stays honest and gets money where it belongs. Mr. Peters put forward amendment SA 1008 to deal with a very specific problem involving federal money.

Here is what the amendment aims to do:

  • It sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to promoting the common good.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations and aggregates, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These changes are for legislation relating to ensuring that communities, organizations, and businesses that have been selected for Federal grants and loans are not blocked from receiving funds because of the Administration's funding freeze.
  • It requires that such legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
