What this amendment would do
This amendment would change the concurrent resolution by adding a deficit-neutral reserve fund for legislation aimed at making college more affordable.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would have the authority to revise budget levels and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a system used to track the cost of legislation that changes existing laws.
This authority would apply to bills, resolutions, or other legislative actions regarding college affordability, which could include doubling the Pell Grant.
The amendment requires that any such legislation must not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
