119-SAMDT-316 — To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to supporting Federal wildland firefighters and associated personnel.
This is SA 316, proposed by Mr. Schiff along with several other senators to the concurrent resolution for the congressional budget. Common sense tells us we need to keep our firefighters supported, and this amendment lets us hold officials accountable for how they fund these critical workers. The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund that relates to supporting Federal wildland firefighters and associated personnel.
