What this amendment would do

Mr. Heinrich submitted amendment numbered SA 2123, which aims to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to increasing the wildland firefighting workforce.

What It Changes or Adds

This amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes to budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.

These adjustments are meant for legislation that focuses on the recruitment and hiring of additional Federal wildland firefighters.

The added provisions may include recruiting and hiring wildland firefighting crews that are composed primarily of:

  • Veterans

  • Formerly incarcerated persons

  • Women

  • Other underrepresented minorities

These changes can only happen if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
