SA 715. Mr. SCHATZ submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2026 through 2034; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO SCHOOL
CHOICE EFFORTS THAT UNDERMINE THE FEDERAL TRUST
RESPONSIBILITY TO INDIAN TRIBES AND NATIVE
STUDENTS AND FAMILIES.
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 the diversion of Federal funding for school
choice efforts, which may include such efforts in the
Department of Education and the Department of the Interior,
that undermine the Federal trust responsibility to Indian
Tribes and Native students and families 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 2025 through 2034.
