What this amendment would do

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

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate could change the spending limits or adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger, which is a record used to track changes in spending that affect the deficit.

These changes would apply to legislation intended to maintain key environmental data used for military readiness, civilian safety during natural disasters, and ensuring operational advantages.

This data maintenance may include requirements to keep websites of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration online and accessible.

The adjustment of these spending levels can only occur if the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2025 and 2034.
