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.
  1. Introduced
  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

SA 4968, submitted by Mr. Welch, 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. This allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budgetary levels and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to prioritize providing tariff refunds to small businesses first.

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