What this amendment would do

Mr. Bennet submitted an amendment, designated as SA 1646, which was proposed to the concurrent resolution establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to the preservation of security assistance to Ukraine. It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.

  • This applies to one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to preserving the delivery of assistance to Ukraine.
  • It may include legislation that would prohibit any reduction in United States security assistance and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine.
  • It may also prohibit any other new restriction on vital assistance that would enable Ukraine to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity against continuing Russian aggression.
  • The changes are allowed by the amounts provided in such legislation, provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
