Changes bill
119-HCONRES-14 — 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.
  1. Introduced
  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

Mr. Luján put forward this amendment to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund. In plain English, this means the Senate Budget Committee Chairman gets the power to change budget numbers and ledger amounts for future bills or measures.

What It Aims to Change

  • The changes will focus on supporting initiatives for rural law enforcement agencies.
  • The goal is to help these agencies protect the people of the United States and combat the fentanyl crisis.
  • Any legislation using this fund cannot increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
