What this amendment would do

The purpose of this amendment, submitted by Ms. Lummis, is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly bear.

What It Aims to Change or Add

This amendment adds a new section to title III of the concurrent resolution. It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that relates to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly bear.

Specifically, the legislation can include:

  • Acknowledging the successful recovery of the grizzly bear population, including recognizing that population numbers have exceeded recovery goals for multiple decades
  • Transitioning management authority to State wildlife agencies
  • Implementing State-led conservation and management plans
  • Establishing clear metrics for maintaining healthy population levels
  • Supporting continued monitoring efforts
  • Other measures to ensure the continued success of the population under State management

To make these budget adjustments happen, the legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
