What this amendment would do

MR. MARKEY submitted this amendment, numbered SA 1139, to the concurrent resolution on the budget for the United States Government.

Purpose and Changes

  • The amendment aims to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the bill.
  • Its purpose relates to protecting workers from illegal wage theft and child labor.
  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the resolution, and adjust the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These adjustments are for legislation relating to the enforcement of labor laws.
  • This may include prohibiting any decreases in funding for or any reductions in force at the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor.
  • The condition for these changes is that the legislation would not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
