What this amendment would do

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to resolving conflicts of interest.

What it aims to change or add to the bill is the addition of a new section at the end of title III. This addition allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to make adjustments and revise allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for specific legislation.

Specifically, this applies to legislation ensuring that Federal Government officials and employees may not self-identify and address their own conflicts of interest when performing work for the Federal Government.

To keep our elected officials and the government accountable, this can only happen as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
