What this amendment would do

This amendment would change the concurrent resolution by allowing the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise certain budgetary levels and adjustments.

  • The Chairman could adjust allocations or the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record of the budgetary impact of legislation, for various types of legislative actions.
  • These actions could include investigating decisions made by the United States Government to pause or drop fraud cases against individuals who make significant investments in projects that benefit the President or other United States Government officials.
  • The adjustments would be for the amounts provided in the legislation used for those purposes.
  • This change would only apply if the legislation does not increase the deficit, meaning the difference between what the government spends and what it takes in, during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
