What this amendment would do

This amendment would change the concurrent resolution by adding a deficit-neutral reserve fund for affordable housing development projects.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to revise specific budget levels and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track the costs of legislation.

  • These adjustments would apply to various types of legislation, such as bills, joint resolutions, or motions, that relate to affordable housing development projects.

  • The amendment states that these actions may include unfreezing projects by protecting funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

  • This process would be permitted using the amounts provided in the legislation for those specific purposes.

  • The amendment requires that any such legislation would not increase the deficit, which is the amount by which spending exceeds revenue, over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
