What this amendment would do

As an analyst looking out for you and keeping our elected officials accountable, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English.

Mr. Bennet submitted SA 959, which is an amendment intended to be proposed for the concurrent resolution setting the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025 and levels through 2034.

Purpose and Changes

  • The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to supporting public school choice at the end of title III.

  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels.

  • It also allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to supporting public school choice.

  • The main rule here is that this can only happen provided that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
