Mr. Bennet submitted SA 1365, which is an amendment intended for the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14 for the fiscal year 2025 budget.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • The amendment adds a new deficit-neutral reserve fund at the end of title III relating to protecting rural communities from increases in energy costs.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.
  • It permits adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to energy in rural communities.
  • It may include prohibiting any action that would lead to increased energy costs for farms, small businesses, or rural households or any reduction in funding for rural energy programs.
