What this amendment would do

SA 1965 was submitted by Mr. Bennet along with several other Senators. It aims to add a new section to the budget resolution that focuses on lifting children out of poverty.

How It Works

The amendment creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund. This gives the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget the power to change budget allocations and make adjustments for legislation that relates to lifting children out of poverty.

The Catch

The only rule for this fund is that the legislation cannot increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
