S.Amdt. 218

Age: 62 years

Colorado

Changes bill: 119-SCONRES-7 — An original concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

What this amendment would do

This amendment was submitted by Mr. Bennet to the budget resolution for the United States Government.
The purpose of the amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to the Department of Defense.
It aims to ensure that the Department of Defense does not conduct operations at the United States southern border that would increase its budget expenditure without providing a detailed cost estimate to the Armed Services committees.
The detailed cost estimate must include budget offsets by program.
It also allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
