What this amendment would do

Mr. Padilla submitted amendment SA 1191, which proposes to add a new section regarding the prohibition of using tariffs as an offset to the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025.

The amendment aims to change how budget estimates are calculated in both the Senate and the House of Representatives under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 or any concurrent resolution on the budget. Specifically, it ensures that any provision imposing tariffs that would increase consumer costs or the cost of living will not be counted when estimating the level of budget authority, outlays, or revenues.
