                   GROCERY PRICES.

       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 
     lowering grocery prices by prohibiting the grocery retail 
     industry from engaging in unfair, deceptive, or 
     anticompetitive practices that increase grocery prices or 
     reduce access to food, which may include restrictive 
     covenants or surveillance pricing, 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.
