What this amendment would do

Ms. Blunt Rochester submitted this amendment, known as SA 1317, to be considered for the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025. Plain and simple, its purpose is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change budget allocations and make adjustments.
  • These adjustments are meant for legislation dealing with prohibiting tariffs and trade practices that exacerbate the housing affordability crisis by increasing home-building costs.
  • This may include prohibiting tariffs on raw materials and components in the home-building process.
  • Any legislation handled this way would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
