119-SCONRES-7 — An original concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.
  1. Introduced
  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

  • Mr. Sanders submitted this amendment, numbered SA 478, to be proposed to the concurrent resolution setting the budget for fiscal year 2025 through 2034.

  • The amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to fair taxation at the end of title III of the budget resolution.

Its Purpose

  • The purpose is to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.

  • It allows adjustments to the pay-as-u-go ledger for legislation relating to fair taxation, which may include ending tax breaks for the top 1 percent or extending tax breaks for working families.

  • This can only happen if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
