What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new section to the concurrent resolution.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would have the authority to change the spending limits of committees or specific budget totals.

  • This authority would apply to legislation, including bills or motions, that relates to protecting National Endowment for the Arts funding for Massachusetts.

  • The Chairman could also make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the costs of legislation that changes existing laws.

  • These changes would be made by the specific amounts provided in the legislation for those purposes.

  • This action is permitted only if the legislation would not increase the deficit, meaning the amount of money the government owes, between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
