SA 1629. 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 OVERSIGHT
AND ETHICS GUIDANCE.
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
providing better oversight and ethics guidance to executive
branch officials to prevent unethical behaviors, which may
include selling influence to entities with business before
the executive branch, promising favorable regulatory actions
in exchange for personal or political gain, or using an
official position to extract outsized returns for the sale of
goods and rights to entities with business before the
executive branch, 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.
