What this amendment would do

Mr. Booker submitted SA 784, which proposes adding a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to environmental justice at the end of title III.

  • The purpose of this amendment is to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.

  • It aims to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to environmental justice.

  • This may include acknowledging that marginalized communities are disproportionately impacted by environmental harms or that addressing this harm requires centering environmental justice.

  • These changes can only happen if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
