What this amendment would do
Mr. Kaine submitted this amendment, known as SA 167, to the budget resolution for fiscal year 2025. In plain English, its purpose is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund that focuses on keeping air travel safe.
What It Aims to Change or Add
The amendment adds a new section to title III of the budget resolution. Here is what it allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to do:
- Adjust the budget: The Chairman can change committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.
- Make ledger adjustments: The Chairman can adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to air travel technology modernization or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investments.
- Cover specific needs: These investments can include air traffic controller staffing, radars, or control towers.
- Keep the budget balanced: These changes can only happen if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
