SA 3811. Mr. HICKENLOOPER (for himself and Mr. Ossoff) submitted an
amendment intended to be proposed by him to the concurrent resolution
S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the congressional budget for the United
States Government for fiscal year 2022 and setting forth the
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2023 through 2031; which
was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. RESERVE FUND RELATING TO HOLDING GLOBAL
TEMPERATURE INCREASES TO WELL BELOW 2 DEGREES
CELSIUS ABOVE PRE-INDUSTRIAL LEVELS.
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
supporting greenhouse gas mitigation measures in the United
States that align with the goal of holding global average
temperature increases to well below 2 degrees Celsius as
compared to pre-industrial levels, which may include both
sector-specific and economy-wide provisions that collectively
can be expected to cost-effectively reduce greenhouse gas
emissions across all economic sectors, by the amounts
provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided
that such legislation would not increase the deficit over the
period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
