What this amendment would do

SA 5015, submitted by Mr. HEINRICH, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund focused on lowering the prices of consumer goods for families in the United States.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the resolution.
  • It allows for adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for various legislative actions, such as bills or amendments, that aim to lower consumer goods prices for families.
  • These actions are permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2026 through 2035.
