What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, I want to keep things straightforward and hold our elected officials accountable to the facts. Here is a plain-language breakdown of what this amendment is all about based strictly on the text provided.

This amendment was submitted by Mr. Bennet regarding the congressional budget for the United States Government.

Purpose and Changes

  • The amendment aims to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution that relates to preserving vital security assistance to Ukraine.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make adjustments to committee allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.

  • These adjustments are meant for legislation relating to preserving the delivery of vital assistance to Ukraine, as long as that legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2025 through 2034.

  • The legislation supported by this fund may include measures that prohibit any reduction in United States security assistance and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, or any other new restriction on vital assistance that enables Ukraine to defend its sovereignty against continuing Russian aggression.
