SA 5341. Mr. BOOKER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him 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 ENERGY
AFFORDABILITY AND SUPPLY.
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
expanding new energy supply and increasing the resilience of
energy systems, including by deploying grid-enhancing
technologies for relieving grid congestion and maximizing use
of the grid, such as with dynamic line ratings, power flow
control devices, and virtual power plants, to meet the needs
of America's growing electricity demand and lowering costs
for ratepayers 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.
