What this amendment would do

This text is about an amendment submitted by Ms. Klobuchar, known as SA 507, which was proposed for the concurrent resolution on the federal budget for fiscal year 2025.

What The Amendment Aims To Do

The purpose of this amendment is to add a new section to the budget resolution regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund. It aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to make adjustments and revise allocations for legislation relating to protecting tax incentives for the production and use of biofuels.

According to the text, these incentives may include:

  • Support for domestic biofuel production

  • Infrastructure development

  • Expanded market access

Keeping Our Wallet In Mind

The big catch here—and this is where we hold them to their word—is that any legislation using this fund would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
