What this amendment would do

Mr. Reed submitted an amendment, known as SA 1752, to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14 for the fiscal year 2025 budget. As folks who sent us to Washington, you expect us to keep a close eye on how money is handled, and that is what we are looking at here.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • Creates a reserve fund: The amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund specifically for modernizing school infrastructure.

  • Gives the Budget Chairman power: It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels.

  • Covers specific legislative actions: These adjustments can be made for bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports related to modernizing school infrastructure.

  • Includes specific funding methods: Modernizing school infrastructure may include direct grants to States or tax credit bonds.

  • Protects the budget: Any legislation passed for these purposes would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
