What this amendment would do

Ms. Lummis, along with Mr. Risch, submitted amendment SA 1204. Its purpose is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to multiple use and sustained yield management of public lands to the concurrent resolution.

This amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger. This applies to legislation relating to strengthening adherence to the core mission of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 of multiple use and sustained yield management of public lands.

The legislation supported by this fund may include:

  • Protecting existing grazing rights

  • Expanding responsible energy development

  • Enhancing recreational access

  • Supporting traditional land uses

  • Ensuring meaningful consultation with local communities and stakeholders

  • Prioritizing management decisions that reflect local and regional needs

  • Maintaining the historical balance between conservation and productive use of public resources as originally intended by Congress

To make these changes happen, the provided text requires that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
