What this amendment would do
This amendment would change the concurrent resolution by adding a deficit-neutral reserve fund.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be allowed to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels.
The Chairman could also make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the cost of legislation that changes existing laws.
These actions would apply to bills, joint resolutions, amendments, motions, or conference reports that aim to close the federal budget deficit.
The goal of such legislation would be to close the deficit by recovering unpaid liabilities from wealthy tax dodgers, which may include closing the portion of the tax gap related to the top 5 percent of taxpayers by income.
The amendment specifies that any such legislation must not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
