What this amendment would do

Mr. King submitted amendment numbered SA 1158 to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, which sets the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and outlines budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to H-2B visas at the end of title III. It aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger.

These changes are for legislation related to boosting the United States workforce and protecting small businesses. This may include safeguarding the H-2B visa program, which compensates for labor shortages during peak seasons for small businesses, provided the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal year 2025 through 2034.
