What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what this is all about in plain English. Ms. Hassan submitted an amendment, known as SA 1905, to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund. This allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes and adjustments to financial levels and the pay-as-you-go ledger.

Specifically, it aims to allow these adjustments for legislation that relates to overturning broad-based tariffs on imports from Canada. There is a strict rule attached to this: the legislation cannot increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
