What this amendment would do

As folks keeping an eye on how our government spends money, we need to know what our elected officials are putting on the table. Mr. Daines submitted SA 1153, which is an amendment intended for the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025.

The main purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund. In plain English, this sets aside a specific financial mechanism that allows for changes to budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger without actually increasing the federal deficit.

Specifically, it aims to add provisions relating to protecting national security by increasing recruitment incentives for U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who are relocating to remote locations along the international border between the United States and Canada.

Here is what the amendment specifically targets:

  • Setting up a reserve fund for the budget
  • Increasing recruitment incentives for U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents
  • Focusing on agents relocating to remote locations along the northern border
  • Ensuring the legislation does not increase the deficit over the periods of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or fiscal years 2025 through 2034
