What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to revise committee allocations or aggregate levels.
  • This includes making adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the budgetary impact of legislation.
  • These adjustments would apply to bills, joint resolutions, amendments, or other legislative actions relating to whether renaming the Gulf of Mexico reduces the price of gas, groceries, or eggs.
  • The changes can only be made if the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
