What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen proposed SA 964, which creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund. In plain English, this sets aside a tool for lawmakers to adjust budget numbers and the pay-as-you-go ledger if they pass legislation that supports American small businesses and contractors.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • Supports small businesses and contractors: It allows budget adjustments for bills, amendments, or reports that relate to supporting United States small businesses and contractors.

  • Resumes foreign assistance: It specifically allows these adjustments for legislation that would resume United States foreign assistance supporting U.S. small businesses or contributing to the U.S. industrial base.

  • Protects the budget: It requires that any legislation passed using this fund would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
