This amendment, submitted by Ms. Collins, proposes the Rescissions Act of 2025. Its purpose is to permanently cancel (rescind) specific amounts of budget authority based on a special message sent by the President to Congress on June 3, 2025.

• Other Programs: Funds for the Clean Technology Fund, international organizations and programs, and transition initiatives.
• Public Broadcasting: Specific amounts from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
