What this amendment would do

As an analyst keeping an eye on how things work for the people, here is the straightforward breakdown of what this amendment is all about based strictly on the text provided.

This amendment, labeled SA 154 and submitted by Ms. Hirono, sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund. Its purpose is to relate to promoting equal opportunity in Federal appointments and removals and other Federal personnel actions.

Here is what it aims to change or add:

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the resolution.
  • It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for certain bills, joint resolutions, amendments, and other legislative items.
  • These changes are allowed as long as the legislation focuses on promoting equal opportunity in Federal appointments and removals and other Federal personnel actions.
  • There is a strict rule attached: the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
