PREVENTING CHANGES IN ENERGY PRICES FOR CERTAIN
CONSUMERS.
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
Federal energy and environmental policy, which may include
preventing a Federal clean electricity standard or clean
energy mandate, preventing levying financial penalties on
utilities to achieve the same effect as such a standard or
mandate, and preventing the imposition of similar mandates
that increase energy prices for low- and moderate-income
households, 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 2022 through 2026 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
