SA 1583. Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER (for herself, Mr. Blumenthal, and Ms.
Cortez Masto) 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 PRESERVING
FUNDING FOR THE UNITED STATES FIRE
ADMINISTRATION, WHICH INCLUDES FUNDING FOR THE
NATIONAL FIRE ACADEMY.
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
preserving funding for the United States Fire Administration,
which funds the National Fire Academy under the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, which has seen the cancellation
of critical emergency response trainings that will impact the
ability of firefighters, emergency medical services
providers, and other first responders nationwide to address
fires, forest fires, hazardous materials incidents,
explosions, arson, and other disasters, 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.
