What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, I'm here to break down what Senator Bennet is trying to do with this amendment so we can keep our elected officials accountable.

What the Amendment Does

  • The amendment adds a new section to the concurrent resolution that creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • Its purpose is to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise budget allocations and adjustments for legislation relating to maintaining or increasing security assistance for United States allies.

  • The allies explicitly covered by this include those in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and major non-NATO allies, specifically listing Australia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, New Zealand, Argentina, Bahrain, the Philippines, Thailand, Kuwait, Morocco, Brazil, Colombia, and Kenya.

  • The only strict rule for this money is that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
