What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English. This amendment was submitted by Mr. Booker, alongside Mr. Reed, and is designated as SA 1093 to the concurrent resolution for the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025.

Purpose and Changes

  • The amendment adds a new section to the end of title III regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund for offshore drilling.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and make pay-as-you-go adjustments for legislation related to offshore oil and gas drilling in the Atlantic Ocean.
  • This includes maintaining protections against the exploration, development, or production of oil and gas in specific areas: the North Atlantic, Mid Atlantic, South Atlantic, and the Straits of Florida Planning Areas of the outer Continental Shelf.
  • The only catch is that any legislation doing this cannot increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
