SA 362. Ms. MIKULSKI (for herself, Mr. Wyden, Ms. Stabenow, Ms.
Warren, and Mr. Udall) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 11, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2016 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2017 through 2025; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO EQUAL PAY
FOR EQUAL WORK.

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
for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments,
amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports
relating to efforts to ensure equal pay policies and
practices and to reform section 6(d) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206(d)) (commonly known as
the ``Equal Pay Act of 1963'') to allow for punitive damages,
limit the exception for unequal pay described in paragraph
(1) of such section to business necessity rather than any
factor ``other than sex'', and prevent retaliation against
employees for sharing salary information by the amounts
provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided
that such legislation would not increase the deficit over
either the period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through
2020 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through
2025.
