What this amendment would do

This amendment, submitted by Mr. Schatz as SA 1769, sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to tariff rates.

Purpose and Changes

The amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise budget allocations and make adjustments for legislation concerning tariff rates. Specifically, it may include prohibiting the President from imposing tariffs on allies of the United States at a level higher than on countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism.

  • The changes apply as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
