What this amendment would do

This amendment would change the concurrent resolution by establishing a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to revise committee allocations or other budget levels for legislation aimed at bolstering the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
  • This includes legislation intended to protect the agency from termination, reorganization, or downsizing.
  • These adjustments would be made by the amounts provided in the legislation for those specific purposes.
  • The amendment requires that such legislation would not increase the deficit, which is the gap between government spending and revenue, over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
