Changes bill
119-SCONRES-7 — An original concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

Mr. Bennet submitted this amendment, known as SA 704, to the congressional budget for the United States Government. Put simply, it creates a special funding setup for security assistance for India.

What It Aims to Change or Add

The amendment adds a new section to the budget resolution that focuses on a deficit-neutral reserve fund for India. It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget numbers and adjustments for legislation related to increasing security assistance for India.

The specific areas covered for India include:

  • Maritime security cooperation
  • Military education and training
  • Joint exercises

The big catch here is that any legislation using this fund must not increase the overall budget deficit for the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
