What this amendment would do

SA 1583 was submitted by Ms. Blunt Rochester, along with Mr. Blumenthal and Ms. Cortez Masto. The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to preserving funding for the United States Fire Administration, which includes funding for the National Fire Academy.

What It Aims to Change or Add

The amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution. It also allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to preserving funding for the United States Fire Administration.

This funding supports the National Fire Academy under the Federal Emergency Management Agency. According to the text, this agency has seen the cancellation of critical emergency response trainings that will impact the ability of firefighters, emergency medical services providers, and other first responders nationwide to address fires, forest fires, hazardous materials incidents, explosions, arson, and other disasters.

To make these changes happen, the legislation must meet a specific rule:

  • It must be supported by the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes.
  • It must not increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
