119-SCONRES-33 — A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.

What this amendment would do

SA 4834, submitted by Mr. Hickenlooper, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund to address the impacts of drought in the western United States.

The amendment would allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to:

  • Revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the resolution.
  • Make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for specific legislative actions.

These actions apply to bills, joint resolutions, amendments, motions, or conference reports regarding western United States drought impacts, which may include:

  • Increases in wildfire risk.
  • Decreases in water supply availability.

This is permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2026 through 2035.
