What this amendment would do

SA 4948, submitted by Mr. Van Hollen, aims to add a section to title III of the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund to combat rising rent costs from corporate landlords.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to this goal.
  • This may include providing resources for the Federal Trade Commission to act against anti-competitive behavior by corporate landlords that raise costs for renters.
  • The amendment requires that such legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2026 through 2035.
