What It Aims to Change or Add

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These adjustments are for legislation relating to limiting tariffs, which may include prohibiting tariffs that would negatively impact rural and low-income communities through inflation and higher consumer costs.
