What this amendment would do

Mr. Booker submitted amendment numbered SA 1198. The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to establishing minimum standards of care for noncitizens held in detention settings.

It aims to allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution, and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger. This is for legislation relating to human rights that would not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.

Specifically, the legislation may require all detention centers operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or any other Federal facility currently holding noncitizens to ensure access to counsel and provide beds, hand soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, menstrual hygiene products, and access to showers to any person held for more than 24 hours.
