What this amendment would do

Mr. Bennet submitted SA 1293, which is an amendment for the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025. Right now, this amendment is just sitting on the table waiting for action.

What It Aims to Change or Add

The amendment adds a new section to the end of title III. This new section creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to change budget allocations and make pay-as-you-go adjustments for specific legislation.
  • The legislation must relate to protecting immigrant youth from trafficking and exploitation, with a special focus on border processing and shelter placement.
  • The big rule here is that any legislation using this fund cannot increase the deficit over the total period from fiscal year 2025 through 2034.
