What this amendment would do

Ms. Klobuchar submitted SA 2113, which is an amendment linked to the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal years 2025 through 2034. As folks who care about how our government operates, we need to know what our elected officials are trying to do with our money.

What It Aims to Change or Add

This amendment creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund for supporting workforce skills development. In plain English, it allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change budget allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels for legislation that supports workforce skills development.

  • Modernizing career and technical education programs
  • Expanding apprenticeships
  • Increasing access to industry-recognized credentials
  • Enhancing workforce training initiatives that align with employer needs

The catch here is a good one for the people: any legislation pushed through using this fund would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
