Reiterating the importance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its continued role in providing nonpartisan and long-term disaster relief to disaster survivors.

Mr. Padilla, along with a group of other Senators, put forward amendment SA 1774. Common sense tells us we need to keep our elected officials accountable, and this text gives us a clear look at what they are trying to do with the budget.

What the amendment aims to change or add

The amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to the importance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

How it works

The text allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution. They can also make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports.

The specific goal

These changes are for legislation that supports the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its continued, central role in providing nonpartisan disaster relief. This includes long-term recovery assistance to disaster survivors in all States, territories, and Tribal nations impacted by disasters.

The main condition

All of this is allowed only by the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
