What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new section to the existing budget resolution.

  • It would allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change the money assigned to specific committees or groups.

  • The Chairman could also make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track how new laws affect the deficit.

  • These changes would apply to bills, resolutions, or other legislative actions aimed at improving diversity in United States agriculture.

  • The adjustments can be made for the specific amounts provided in those pieces of legislation.

  • This action is permitted only if the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
