What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new section to the congressional budget resolution.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change the spending limits of a committee or committees, aggregates, and other appropriate levels.
  • It also allows for adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track how new legislation affects the deficit.
  • These changes would apply to legislation or motions relating to keeping air travel safe.
  • This may include funding for Federal Aviation Administration programs to hire air traffic controllers or instructor personnel, expand training capacity, or upgrade or replace aging air traffic infrastructure.
  • The funding amounts would be those authorized by the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.
  • This can occur provided the legislation would not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
