What this amendment would do

As folks looking out for everyday taxpayers, we need to keep a close eye on what our elected officials are trying to do with our money. Here is the plain-spoken breakdown of what this amendment is all about based strictly on the official text.

What the amendment is: This is an amendment proposed by Ms. Hassan, known as SA 1976, which was submitted for the concurrent resolution on the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025.

What it aims to change or add: The amendment adds a specific DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO CUTTING TAXES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES to the budget resolution.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations, aggregates, and other levels.
  • It lets the Chairman make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that relates to cutting taxes for small businesses.
  • It comes with a strict rule: this can only happen if the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
