What this amendment would do

Here is the rundown on what this amendment is all about, using plain common sense.

What It Aims to Do

Ms. Murkowski put forward this amendment, known as SA 1025, for the fiscal year 2025 congressional budget resolution.

  • It adds a new section to title III regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund.
  • The main goal is to relate to the construction of additional medium and heavy Coast Guard icebreakers and their components.

How It Changes the Bill

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.
  • It also lets the Chairman make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These changes can be made for bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports that deal with building these Coast Guard icebreakers.
  • The catch is that this can only happen as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
