What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English. Ms. Hassan put forward this amendment to deal with keeping track of our government's budget.

Purpose and Changes

  • The amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • Its stated purpose is relating to stopping unelected billionaires from advancing their own financial interests at the expense of taxpayers in the United States.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.

  • It also allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for certain legislative actions.

  • This is allowed as long as the legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
