What this amendment would do

Mr. Booker submitted amendment numbered SA 2042, which proposes to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to offshore drilling to the concurrent resolution for the fiscal year 2025 congressional budget.

The purpose of this amendment is to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to offshore oil and gas drilling in the Atlantic Ocean.

Specifically, it aims to allow adjustments for legislation that may include maintaining protections against the exploration, development, or production of oil and gas in the North Atlantic, Mid Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Straits of Florida Planning Areas of the outer Continental Shelf, provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
