What this amendment would do

SA 5336, submitted by Mr. Wyden, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33. The purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund regarding the duties of the Comptroller General of the United States.

This amendment would allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budgetary levels and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

The scope of this amendment includes:

  • Legislation, amendments, motions, or conference reports relating to the duties of the Comptroller General of the United States.
  • This may include a study on the economic consequences of private or confidential drug pricing agreements between pharmaceutical manufacturers and any Federal office, agency, or department, while protecting proprietary pricing information.

The change is provided as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 through 2035.
