What this amendment would do

Mr. Kaine submitted SA 983, which is an amendment meant to be added to the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025.

Its Purpose

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund. This fund relates to research and education programs in support of coastal fishery economies.

What it Aims to Change or Add

This amendment aims to add a new section to title III of the budget resolution. It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise certain allocations, aggregates, and other levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger. This can be done for legislation relating to research and education in support of United States coastal economies.

  • This may include National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration programs
  • The goal of these programs is to develop sustainable commercial and recreational fisheries in coasts, bays, and estuaries
  • Any changes are allowed only if the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034
