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.
  1. Introduced
  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

SA 4835, submitted by Mr. HICKENLOOPER, aims to add a section to the end of 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. These impacts may include:

  • Increases in wildfire risk
  • Decreases in water supply availability

This would allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to adjust budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to these issues, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
