What this amendment would do

  • Mr. King submitted SA 1515 to the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025.
  • The purpose is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund that focuses on strengthening transparency, oversight, and accountability within the Department of Veterans Affairs.

How It Changes the Bill

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These revisions are for legislation relating to strengthening transparency, oversight, and accountability within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
  • The legislation may include requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide a full list of all contracts cancelled since January 20, 2025, or any additional contracts the Department is considering cancelling through the date of adoption.
  • The changes are allowed as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
