What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment numbered SA 1603 to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14.

The purpose of this amendment is to establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to lowering prices for the people of the United States.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.

  • It allows for adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to lowering prices for the people of the United States.

  • It allows these actions for legislation that may include preventing sweeping taxes on all imports, limiting the ability of the President to unilaterally raise taxes by thousands of dollars per person, and reducing uncertainty for households and businesses that damages the economy.

  • These changes can only be made provided that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
