What this amendment would do

Ms. Klobuchar submitted SA 2117, which is an amendment about premerger notification filing fees. In plain English, it sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

What It Aims to Change or Add

This amendment allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget levels and make adjustments for legislation related to these filing fees.

Specifically, the text mentions it may include a requirement that the fees collected under section 7A of the Clayton Act be retained and used for expenses necessary for the enforcement of antitrust and kindred laws by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission.

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