What this amendment would do

Mr. Bennet submitted SA 1292 to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14. In plain English, this amendment creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

The Purpose of the Amendment

The purpose of this fund is to allow for changes to budget allocations and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that focuses on increasing staffing and specialized training for both asylum officers and immigration judges who handle children's cases.

What It Aims to Change or Add

The amendment adds a new section to title III of the budget resolution. It permits the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to adjust budget levels and allocations, specifically for bills or amendments relating to increasing staffing and specialized training for asylum officers and immigration judges handling children's cases.

  • The adjustment is only allowed if the legislation does not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
