What this amendment would do

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

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to change the allocations of committees or other budgetary levels.
  • These changes would apply to legislation, such as bills or motions, that prohibits tariffs on imported energy products.
  • The legislation could include prohibiting tariffs on energy products imported from Canada or Mexico.
  • These adjustments would be made by the amounts provided in the legislation to prevent raising energy costs for United States households and small businesses.
  • This process is subject to the requirement that the legislation would not increase the deficit, which is the gap between government spending and revenue, over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
