What this amendment would do

Mr. Kaine submitted amendment numbered SA 282 to the concurrent resolution on the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025.

The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund at the end of title III. This fund relates to providing resources to undo harm caused to the Head Start and Early Head Start programs by the Federal funding freeze.

Specifically, it aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution. It also allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.

These revisions and adjustments are for legislation relating to supporting access to the Head Start and Early Head Start programs, which may include providing resources to undo harm caused by the Federal funding freeze ordered in January 2025. This can happen as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
