SA 1324. Mr. PETERS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14, establishing 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 ENSURING
THAT TARIFFS DO NOT INCREASE PRICES FOR
AMERICAN CONSUMERS.
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
ensuring that new tariffs do not increase the price of goods
for American consumers, which may include legislation that
would require an economic assessment of new tariffs on goods
from Canada to measure potential price increases on consumer
goods, 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.
