What this amendment would do

Mr. Welch submitted SA 355, which is an amendment intended to be proposed for 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 relating to promoting broadband affordability.

  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.

  • These changes are for legislation relating to promoting broadband affordability, which may include restarting the Affordability Connectivity Program administered by the Federal Communications Commission.

  • The catch is that this legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
