What this amendment would do

SA 5053, submitted by Mr. Lujan, aims to add a section to title III of S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund to support specific Indian programs and annual appropriations accounts. These include:

  • Operation of Indian Programs
  • Contract Support Costs
  • Indian Guaranteed Loan Program
  • Construction
  • Payments for Tribal Leases
  • Operation of Indian Education Programs
  • Education Construction
  • Indian Health Facilities

This amendment would allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to adjust budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for related legislation, as long as that legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
