What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English. We need to keep an eye on how our elected officials handle the budget, so here is what Mr. Daines put on the table.

The amendment proposes a deficit-neutral reserve fund. Its main purpose is to allow changes to the budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that permanently stops a tax increase of more than $4,000,000,000,000 on American workers, families, farmers, and small businesses.

To achieve this, the amendment aims to add or change the budget to allow for:

  • Permanent tax hike prevention: Stopping a tax increase of more than $4,000,000,000,000 that affects workers, families, farmers, and small businesses.
  • Enhancing past laws: This may include enhancing provisions that are already included in Public Law 115-97, which is commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
  • Deficit protection: Making sure that any legislation passed for this purpose does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
