What this amendment would do

Mr. Bennet submitted SA 1047, which adds a new section to title III of the concurrent resolution. The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to supporting local legal aid organizations that provide immigration legal services to families and unaccompanied minors navigating the complex immigration system.

How It Changes the Budget

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

  • The Chairman can also make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports.

  • These changes apply specifically to legislation supporting local legal aid organizations that provide immigration legal services to families and unaccompanied minors navigating the complex immigration system.

  • The adjustments are allowed by the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes.

  • The legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
