What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new section to the budget resolution regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to change the budget levels or adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the budgetary impact of new legislation.

  • These changes would apply to bills or resolutions intended to preserve the delivery of assistance to Ukraine.

  • This includes legislation that would prevent any reduction in United States security assistance and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine.

  • It also includes legislation that would prevent new restrictions on assistance used by Ukraine to defend its sovereignty against continuing Russian aggression.

  • These adjustments would be made for the amounts provided in such legislation, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
