What this amendment would do

As an analyst looking out for you, let's break down what Mr. Kennedy's amendment (SA 2132) actually tries to do. Common sense tells us we need to keep an eye on how budget rules get tweaked, so here is the plain truth based strictly on the text provided.

The amendment sets up three specific deficit-neutral reserve funds for the Senate Committee on the Budget. Put simply, it gives the Chairman the power to change budget allocations and ledgers for future legislation, as long as those laws do not increase the federal deficit from fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

Here is what those funds aim to cover:

  • Nuclear Energy Generation: Prohibiting any unnecessary regulatory burden or government action from delaying the establishment of nuclear energy generation.

  • Nuclear Stockpile: Prohibiting any unnecessary regulatory burden or government action from delaying the maintenance and expansion of the nuclear stockpile.

  • Liquefied Natural Gas: Promoting the export of liquefied natural gas.
