What this amendment would do

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

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to revise committee allocations and other budgetary levels for legislation relating to lower rents and home purchase costs.

These adjustments could include preventing a decrease in the supply of safe and affordable housing for renters and homeowners, such as multi-family buildings, single-family homes, and manufactured homes.

The adjustments could be made for bills, joint resolutions, amendments, motions, or conference reports.

This authority is subject to the condition that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
