SA 922. Mr. LEE proposed 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
GOVERNMENT DEREGULATION.
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
reducing burdensome and costly Federal Government regulations
by passing legislation focused on government deregulation
that will decrease new spending arising from such regulations
and reassert the proper constitutional role of Congress in
the law-making process 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 2025 through 2029 or the
period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
