SA 4796. Mrs. SHAHEEN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2027 through 2035; 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 TARIFF REFUNDS ARE PROCESSED AS EASILY AS
POSSIBLE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.
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 refunds of unlawful tariffs are processed as
quickly and easily as possible for small businesses, which
may include automatic refunds using information that U.S.
Customs and Border Protection already possesses, 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 2026 through
2035.
