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; as follows: At the end of title III, add the following: SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO THE IMPACTS OF HEDGE FUND OWNERSHIP OF SINGLE- FAMILY HOMES AND RENT 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 reported by the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to Department of Justice antitrust enforcement to help American families, which may include reducing the single-family housing market share of large single-family housing investors or addressing the impact of these investors' activities on housing availability, housing affordability, home ownership, eviction rates, home maintenance, and gentrification, by deeming acquisitions of single-family homes by large institutional investors to be contracts in restraint of trade 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. ______
