What this amendment would do

Mr. Kelly submitted SA 1742 to the concurrent resolution on the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025. Plain and simple, this amendment creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change allocations and other appropriate levels in the resolution.
  • It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to drought.
  • It targets water conservation efforts, infrastructure modernization, and payments to drought-stricken agricultural producers.
  • It strictly requires that any such legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
