What this amendment would do
Mrs. Murray submitted this amendment, known as SA 889, to the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025. It deals with our tax dollars and keeping our utility and power bills down.
What It Aims to Change or Add
The amendment adds a new section to the bill that creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund. This gives the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget the power to change budget numbers and accounting ledgers for specific types of legislation.
These changes can be made for bills, resolutions, or amendments that focus on preserving existing energy programs and funding meant to lower energy costs for American families. The main catch written into the text is that this new legislation cannot increase the overall budget deficit for the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
