What this amendment would do

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

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would have the authority to change committee spending limits and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the cost of legislation that changes spending or revenue. This authority would apply to bills, resolutions, or amendments related to Federal tax benefits that make raising children more affordable, such as those that establish a child tax credit. The changes would be made by the specific amounts provided in such legislation. This authority is subject to the condition that the legislation does not increase the deficit during the years 2025 through 2034.
