What this amendment would do
Put simply, this amendment proposes adding a new section to the budget resolution that creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund.
Purpose and Changes
The main goal here is to hold our officials and the government accountable by keeping a close eye on where our money goes. Specifically, the amendment aims to add a provision that allows for the creation of an independent office of Inspector General.
- The sole purpose of this new office is auditing all United States military, nonmilitary, and economic assistance given to Ukraine since March 2022.
- The audits would be shared with the public through regular publicly available reports.
- The review may include a detailed look at all government contracts and grants, the expenses of foreign government agencies receiving U.S. funds, and whether the Government of Ukraine is following all conditions required to receive the assistance.
- The changes are tied to the rule that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
