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
enhancing proactive forest management practices as an
essential component of comprehensive wildfire recovery and
risk reduction, which may include increasing mechanical
thinning, prescribed burns, creating fuel breaks, removing
dead and diseased trees, maintaining access roads, or other
measures to prevent future western wildfires similar to those
ravaging the State of California, 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.
