What this amendment would do

As folks working for you in Congress, we need to keep a close eye on how our government handles your sensitive information. Ms. Warren submitted an amendment, numbered SA 1078, which is meant to be added to the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025.

Purpose and Changes

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund. This is essentially a dedicated financial space that allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget levels and rules for future legislation.

Specifically, it aims to support laws that protect consumers' sensitive personal data held by the government from being shared without authorization or transferred to non-governmental actors. To keep our leaders accountable, the text explicitly states that any legislation using this fund cannot increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
