What this amendment would do

Mr. Kelly, along with Mr. Merkley and Mr. Schatz, proposed an amendment numbered SA 984 to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7 for the fiscal year 2025 congressional budget.

Purpose and Changes

The amendment aims to change the text of the resolution starting on page 52, line 20 through page 53, line 6. It replaces it with a new section concerning a deficit-neutral reserve fund for legislation that does not increase tax breaks for the wealthy.

  • Allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, other appropriate levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for certain legislation.
  • Requires that the legislation does not reduce the average tax liability of taxpayers with income over $100,000,000.
  • Requires that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
