The Senate rejected S.Amdt. 1774 to S.Amdt. 1717 to H.Con.Res. 14, the fiscal 2025 budget resolution, by 48–51. The amendment did not change the resolution.
The Senate considered S.Amdt. 1774, an amendment to another amendment to H.Con.Res. 14. The underlying resolution is a ten-year congressional budget plan, but the specific change proposed by S.Amdt. 1774 is not linked in ChamberLight’s records. The amendment was rejected, with 48 senators voting yes and 51 voting no. As a result, this amendment did not alter the resolution under consideration.
The Senate later agreed to H.Con.Res. 14 on April 5, and the linked record lists its status as resolving differences, with a star print ordered on May 20. A concurrent resolution must be agreed to in the same form by both chambers; it is not sent to the President and does not itself change federal law.
