What this amendment would do

This amendment, submitted by Mr. Schatz as SA 1689, proposes to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to upholding the Federal trust and treaty responsibilities held by all Federal agencies to Indian Tribes.

Purpose and Changes

  • 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 allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to upholding these Federal trust and treaty responsibilities.

  • This may include reversing Executive orders that undermine those responsibilities by cutting essential Federal programs and staff that oversee Federal trust funding and services to Indian Tribes.

  • These changes are permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
