S.Amdt. 434

Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment SA 435 [sic - SA 434] to the concurrent resolution on the budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and fiscal years 2026 through 2034. The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to preventing a reduction in postal service for rural America.

What It Aims to Change or Add

• It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.
• It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to preventing a reduction in postal service in the rural United States.
• It may include preventing the closure or consolidation of postal processing and distribution centers under certain conditions.
• These conditions apply if the action would negatively impact mail delivery or would result in there no longer being any processing and distribution centers located in a State that previously had one or more centers.
• This is allowed provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
