PROHIBITING ACTIONS BY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
THAT WOULD MAKE THE UNITED STATES MORE RELIANT
ON COUNTRIES WITH WEAKER ENVIRONMENTAL OR LABOR

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,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
prohibiting actions by the executive branch that would make
the United States more reliant on countries with weaker
environmental or labor standards for oil, gas, or hardrock
mineral production 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 2021 through 2025 or the
period of the total of fiscal years 2021 through 2030.
