What this amendment would do

  • Mr. Reed submitted SA 1749 to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.
  • The main goal is to address the drop in reading and writing skills for both children and adults in the United States.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to make changes to financial allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These adjustments are meant for legislation that deals with reversing the decline in literacy skills.
  • It can include putting more money toward adult education or evidence-based reading instruction in public schools.
  • Any changes made depend on the rule that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period from fiscal year 2025 through 2034.
