What this amendment would do

Mr. Bennet submitted this amendment, numbered SA 763, to the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025. The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting funding for water conservation in States experiencing long-term drought.

How It Changes the Budget

This amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change budget allocations and make adjustments for legislation related to protecting funding for water conservation in States experiencing long-term drought. This can include prohibiting provisions that restrict the distribution of funds in the Colorado River Basin or Rio Grande River Basin. The catch is that any legislation using this fund cannot increase the deficit over the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
