What this amendment would do

As your analyst, let's break down what Senator Rosen is trying to do here with this amendment, labeled SA 835.

What It Does

  • The amendment sets up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger for specific legislation.

  • These changes are meant for bills or amendments related to supporting programs that reduce barriers to homeownership.

The Purpose

  • The stated purpose is to help fund programs that make it easier for people to buy a home.

  • According to the text, these programs may include down payment assistance and first-time homebuyer tax credits.

The Catch

  • There is a strict rule attached: any legislation passed using this fund would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
