What this amendment would do
This amendment would add a new section to the budget resolution.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to change the spending limits of committees or other budget levels. This would apply to legislation or motions that relate to protecting natural resources and human safety. This includes legislation intended to ensure that the National Park Service, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, or the Forest Service are adequately staffed on Federal public lands. The Chairman could make these changes for the specific amounts provided in such legislation. This action is permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit, which is the amount by which government spending exceeds its revenue, during the years 2025 through 2034.
