What this amendment would do

Mr. Peters put forward an amendment, known as SA 747, to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025. Right now, this just means it was submitted and ordered to lie on the table for potential future action.

What the amendment aims to change or add

The amendment adds a new section to the budget resolution that creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

Key details of the addition

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make changes to financial allocations and targets.
  • These adjustments are meant for legislation that lowers energy costs for people in the United States.
  • The legislation could include prohibiting oil exports if the President has declared a national energy emergency.
  • Any changes made depend on the rule that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period from fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2034.
