What this amendment would do
This amendment would change the concurrent resolution by adding a deficit-neutral reserve fund related to helping fire departments.
-
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be allowed to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other budgetary levels.
-
The Chairman would also be able to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the costs of legislation that changes existing laws.
-
These changes would apply to bills, joint resolutions, or other legislative actions providing equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training, and other resources for fire and fire-related hazards.
-
The resources could include safeguarding staffing for fire and emergency response grants intended to help fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations increase or maintain the number of trained, "front line" firefighters.

This action would only be permitted for legislation that would not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
