Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment SA 1945, which sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • The legislation must relate to reducing economic harm to American businesses and consumers negatively impacted by the sugar program authorized under section 156 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996.
  • It may include expanding sugar supplies in the United States.
  • The legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
