What this amendment would do

Mr. Merkley submitted SA 627 to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7 for the fiscal year 2025 budget.

  • The amendment aims to change the bill by adding a specific condition to a budget adjustment.

  • It states that no adjustment can be made unless the Director of the Congressional Budget Office certifies that inflation is equal to or below 2 percent.

  • This inflation check must be based on the most recent data available, looking at either the average of annualized changes in recent monthly consumer price index reports or the previous year's unadjusted annual change in that index.
