What this amendment would do

As your analyst, let's look at what this amendment is trying to do. Submitted by Mr. Reed and Mr. King, this amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • The main purpose is to make sure the Department of Housing and Urban Development keeps its staffing at the levels it had on January 19, 2025.
  • It aims to give the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget the power to change budget allocations and make adjustments for legislation that protects these staffing levels.
  • This includes making sure staff numbers do not drop in specific areas like the Office of Community Planning and Development, the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, and State field offices.
  • Any legislation using this fund must not increase the deficit over the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
