  SA 1038. Mr. KIRK submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 11, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2016 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
years 2017 through 2025; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND TO INCREASE WAGES FOR 
                   AMERICAN WORKERS.

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, 
     aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution 
     for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, 
     amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports 
     relating to reaffirming the ability of States to adopt 
     minimum wages higher than the Federal minimum wage level 
     commensurate with the cost of living in the State, which may 
     include the adoption of pro-employment and wage-increasing 
     policies by providing pro-growth tax relief and eliminating 
     excessive government mandates, by the amounts provided in 
     such legislation for those purposes, provided that such 
     legislation would not increase the deficit over either the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
