What this amendment would do

Mr. Welch submitted amendment SA 1497 to the concurrent resolution for the fiscal year 2025 congressional budget.

  • The purpose of the amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund related to improving the resilience of United States food systems.
  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels.
  • It also allows for adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to improving the resilience of United States food systems, which may include reversing cuts to personnel researching local food systems.
  • This change applies as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
