What this amendment would do

  • Mr. Merkley submitted SA 603 as an amendment to the concurrent resolution for the federal budget.

  • Its purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund specifically for the Federal wildland firefighter workforce.

  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise allocations and adjustments for legislation relating to fire management.

  • This includes increasing hiring and retention in the Federal wildland firefighting workforce, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
