Mr. Welch submitted this amendment to the 2025 congressional budget resolution. The main purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund that focuses on improving the resilience of United States food systems.

What It Changes Or Adds

  • It adds a new section to title III of the budget resolution.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that improves United States food systems.
  • It explicitly mentions that this can include reversing cuts to personnel who research local food systems.
  • It requires that any such legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2034.
