What this amendment would do

Mrs. Shaheen submitted amendment numbered SA 989 to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025 through 2034. The main purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund that protects United States farmers and agricultural workers from taking an economic hit if United States foreign assistance is paused or terminated.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • It adds a new section to title III of the budget resolution relating to protecting United States farmers from the economic consequences of a pause or termination of United States foreign assistance.

  • 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 for legislation that supports United States farmers and agricultural sector workers.

  • It covers legislation that ensures a pause or freeze in foreign assistance does not negatively impact farmers who provide commodities or specialty crops for foreign assistance or international food aid.

  • It requires that any such legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
