What this amendment would do

Mr. Peters put forward this amendment to make sure our elected officials and the government set aside money to ensure the Department of Homeland Security has sufficient resources to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States.

As your analyst, here is what this aims to change or add to the budget:

  • Allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.

  • Allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to stopping fentanyl.

  • Focuses on providing amounts for specific actions, including:

    • Increasing staffing for U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents.

    • Procuring non-intrusive inspection systems for ports of entry.

    • Carrying out relevant Science and Technology research and development programs.

    • Increasing the number of Homeland Security Investigations special agents.
