What this amendment would do

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

  • This fund allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change the spending limits of committees or other budget levels.

  • It also allows for 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 that relate to protecting the privacy and data security of veterans in Massachusetts who work for the Federal Government as an employee, contractor, or grantee.

  • The adjustments would be for the specific amounts provided in that legislation.

  • This can only occur if the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
