What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what Mr. Reed is trying to do here in plain English using only the text provided.

What the Amendment Does

Mr. Reed submitted amendment SA 1750 to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025.

  • The amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to making college more affordable.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes to budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These changes are meant for legislation that makes college more affordable, which might include doubling the Pell Grant.
  • The only strict rule for these changes is that the legislation cannot increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
