What this amendment would do

Mrs. Murray put forward this amendment to hold our government to the fire when it comes to fair pay. The whole point of this addition is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund that focuses on making sure workers get equal pay for equal work.

What It Aims to Change

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These changes are meant for legislation that deals with eliminating pay inequality.
  • This can include steps to properly enforce discrimination laws or get rid of wage disparities.
  • There is one big catch: any legislation using this fund cannot increase the deficit from fiscal year 2025 through 2034.
