What this amendment would do
This amendment would change the rules regarding how certain committees submit their budget recommendations. It requires specific Senate committees to submit their recommendations to the Committee on the Budget of the Senate no later than May 9, 2025. Once the Committee on the Budget receives all recommendations, it must report a reconciliation bill, which is a bill used to implement budget changes, to the Senate without making any major changes to the content.
The amendment also creates a restriction on the Committee on Finance. This committee cannot submit its recommendations until the Director of the Congressional Budget Office certifies that inflation is not more than 3 percent. This determination must be based on the most recent data available regarding the consumer price index, which is a measure of how prices change for urban consumers.
