What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment SA 426 to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7 for the fiscal year 2025 budget. The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund related to disaster recovery investments that lower the cost of housing.

The amendment 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. This is for legislation relating to supporting disaster recovery investments that lower the cost of housing, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

The supporting investments mentioned may include:

  • Investing in new housing construction that is resilient and efficient and accounts for the long-term costs of living for residents.

  • The use of energy-efficient building codes.

  • Using modern building methods that will lower the cost of home insurance.
