What this amendment would do
This amendment would create a deficit-neutral reserve fund, which is a mechanism to allow for certain spending changes without increasing the national deficit, to maintain the staffing levels of the Department of Housing and Urban Development as they were on January 19, 2025.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate could use this to revise budget allocations or adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger, which tracks changes in spending and revenues.
This process would apply to legislation or motions intended to ensure that staffing levels within the Office of Community Planning and Development, the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, and State field offices do not fall below the levels recorded on January 19, 2025.
The amendment specifies that the legislation used for these purposes must not increase the deficit during the period covering fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
