Accountability and the People

As folks who vote for our officials, we need to know how these decisions affect our kids and our tax dollars.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate is allowed to revise certain budget allocations and adjustments for legislation targeting this issue.
  • There is a strict rule attached: the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
