What this amendment would do

Mr. Hickenlooper submitted amendment numbered SA 1877, which relates to a deficit-neutral reserve fund for drought in the western United States.

The purpose of this amendment is to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels, and to adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger. This applies to legislation related to the impacts of drought in the western United States, which can include decreases in water supply availability or increases in wildfire risk.

The amendment aims to change the budget resolution by allowing these adjustments by the amounts provided in such legislation, as long as that legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
