Changes bill
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.

  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

SA 4842, submitted by Mr. Hickenlooper, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33.

This amendment proposes the creation of a deficit-neutral reserve fund to handle energy affordability impacts caused by tariffs and the war in Iran.

The purpose is to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to:

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

These changes would apply to bills or reports that focus on reducing energy price impacts by using affordable and reliable energy storage technologies and generation. This is permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
