S.Amdt. 653

Mr. Welch submitted amendment SA 653 to the concurrent resolution for the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025.

• The amendment adds a new section to title III regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to organic agriculture research.
• It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels.
• These changes are meant for legislation improving information on healthy foods.
• The legislation would direct the Department of Agriculture to conduct regular studies on the organic agriculture industry.
• These studies may include prices for organic crops, cost-of-production data for organic milk, or information on organic production and marketing.
• The adjustments depend on the legislation not increasing the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
