What this amendment would do

As an analyst keeping an eye out for everyday folks and holding our elected officials accountable, let's break down what this amendment is all about using plain common sense.

Mr. Padilla submitted amendment SA 1225 to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025.

The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting religious freedom at the end of title III.

Here is what it aims to change or add:

  • It lets the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget adjust certain budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger.
  • These adjustments are for legislation concerning protecting religious freedom.
  • This protection may include prohibiting the conduct of immigration enforcement operations at places of worship, which covers churches and spaces rented for religious purposes.
  • Any such legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
