SA 1430. Ms. HIRONO submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
her 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 appropriate place, insert the following:
SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO PROTECTING
PUBLIC SHIPYARD WORKERS.
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
strengthening protections for shipyard workers, which may
include legislation that would prohibit reductions in force,
mass layoffs, or hiring freezes of workers at public
shipyards absent explicit congressional approval, require the
Department of Defense and the Department of the Navy to
maintain minimum workforce levels at each public shipyard, or
mandate a congressional notification process for any proposed
reductions in shipyard personnel, 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.
