What this amendment would do

As folks looking out for the everyday people and holding our elected officials accountable, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English using only the official text provided.

What the Amendment Does

  • Mr. King submitted amendment numbered SA 2004 to the concurrent resolution on the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025.

  • The amendment creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to IDEA programs.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes to budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.

  • These changes are for legislation relating to providing free, appropriate public education to eligible children with disabilities.

  • This may include safeguarding programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that support special education and related services for children with disabilities.

  • The catch is that this legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
