What this amendment would do

  • The text we are looking at is SA 1722, an amendment submitted by Mr. Luján.

  • The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to the National Laboratories of the Department of Energy.

What It Aims to Change or Add

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

  • It allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to supporting the 17 National Laboratories of the Department of Energy.
