What this amendment would do

As folks keeping an eye on how our elected officials handle things, we need to know what this paperwork is all about. This amendment, labeled SA 1502 and submitted by Mr. Welch, deals with the budget for the United States Government.

What It Aims to Change

  • Adds a new fund: The amendment adds a new section to the end of title III, creating a deficit-neutral reserve fund.
  • Focuses on agriculture: This fund relates to improving diversity in United States agriculture.
  • Gives budget power: It lets the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate revise certain committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels.
  • Keeps the budget balanced: The catch is that any legislation using this fund cannot increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
