What this amendment would do

As folks who want to keep an eye on how our government operates and holds our elected officials accountable, here is the plain-language breakdown of what this amendment is all about based strictly on the text provided.

Submitted by Ms. Rosen, this amendment (labeled SA 848) aims to add a new section to title III of the concurrent resolution for the 2025 budget.

Its main purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund. This fund is specifically related to ensuring that the Bureau of Land Management has the staff, funds, and resources it needs to responsibly manage and protect public lands.

To make this happen, the amendment allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and make adjustments. However, this is only allowed if the legislation that provides these resources for the Bureau of Land Management does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
