What this amendment would do

As your legislative analyst, let us break down what Mr. Bennet is trying to do with this paperwork. The amendment, labeled SA 1301, was submitted for the concurrent resolution on the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025.

Purpose and Changes

  • The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund for mental health and family stability support programs for Department of Homeland Security personnel.

  • It aims to allow the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.

  • It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to providing support for Department of Homeland Security personnel.

  • The specific support mentioned includes providing mental health and family stability services for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents.

  • The big catch to hold our officials accountable is that any legislation using this fund would not increase the deficit over the total periods of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 or fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
