SA 783. Mr. BOOKER 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 FUNDING
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE.
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
environmental justice, which may include ensuring that 40
percent of the overall benefits of certain Federal climate,
clean energy, affordable and sustainable housing, or other
investments flow to disadvantaged communities that are
marginalized by underinvestment or overburdened by pollution,
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.
