What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the congressional budget resolution.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to revise certain budget levels and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the cost of legislation.

These changes would apply to various legislative actions relating to strengthening international counter-terrorism programs.

The amendment specifies that such legislation may include providing foreign military financing, bolstering international law enforcement and security, providing economic and development assistance, strengthening intelligence and cybersecurity cooperation, or increasing humanitarian assistance in conflict zones.

The adjustment of these budget levels would be permitted by the amounts provided in the legislation, provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
