What this amendment would do

Mr. Luján submitted amendment numbered SA 2077, which deals with setting up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • The amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes to committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels.

  • It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to funding aid programs for schools impacted by Federal activities.

The Purpose of the Amendment

The purpose is to support funding aid programs for schools impacted by Federal activities without increasing the deficit.

  • The funding may include increasing support for the impact aid program under title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

  • It specifically mentions helping schools that serve military-connected students, students living on Indian lands, students with disabilities, and other eligible school districts.
