What this amendment would do

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

The amendment allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change the budget levels of committees or other spending aggregates. This applies to legislation or motions that relate to preventing the prioritization of transportation grant funding based on marriage and birth rates. These adjustments can be made by the amounts provided in the specific legislation for those purposes. This change can only occur if the legislation would not increase the deficit, which is the annual shortfall between government spending and revenue, during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
