Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment SA 1601 to the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025. As your legislative analyst, let's break down what our elected officials are trying to do here in plain English using only the text provided.

What the Amendment Aims to Change or Add

This amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to supporting United States farmers to the budget resolution.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes and adjustments to financial levels, allocations, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These adjustments are for legislation related to protecting and continuing vital foreign food assistance programs.
  • These programs must support United States farmers and distribute United States-grown commodities to combat hunger throughout the world.
  • Any legislation for this purpose must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
