What this amendment would do
This amendment, numbered SA 1022 and submitted by Ms. Murkowski, deals with the federal budget and sets up what is called a deficit-neutral reserve fund.
Purpose and Changes
- The amendment aims to add a new section to title III of the budget resolution.
- It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change spending allocations and make adjustments for legislation dealing with natural hazards.
- The covered natural hazards specifically include earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, with a focus on high-risk areas.
- The purpose of this funding is to help with prevention, forecasting, early detection, warning, and recovery.
- The key rule is that any legislation using this fund must not increase the federal deficit over the combined periods of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
