What this amendment would do

As folks working for the people, we need to keep track of how our elected officials handle things. This amendment, labeled SA 723 and submitted by Ms. Warren along with Mr. Markey, aims to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

The specific purpose of this addition is to protect Federal funding meant for the removal of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances from drinking water in Massachusetts.

What It Aims to Change or Add to the Bill

The amendment adds a new section to title III of the concurrent resolution. It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes and adjustments for legislation related to this specific drinking water cleanup in Massachusetts.

  • Allows Budget Changes: The Chairman can revise allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • Maintains Deficit Rules: The legislation using this fund must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
