What this amendment would do

Mr. Bennet submitted SA 533, which is an amendment intended for the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025. The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to freedom of energy choice at the end of title III.

The amendment aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and to adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger. This can be done for legislation relating to energy choice, provided that the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2025 through fiscal year 2034.

Specifically, the legislation for energy choice may include:

  • Prohibiting any action that would lead to fewer energy options available to consumers
  • Restrictions on energy supply that would lead to increased energy costs for Americans
