What this amendment would do

Mr. Padilla submitted SA 1462, which is an amendment intended for the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2025 and setting levels through 2034.

The purpose of this amendment is to add a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to protecting American communities from fentanyl. It aims to allow changes to budget allocations and levels for legislation that protects communities from fentanyl and other opioids. Specifically, it can target curbing the illegal trafficking of firearms from the United States to criminal organizations in Mexico that facilitate the illicit trade of narcotics and human trafficking, in accordance with the commitments of President Trump.

  • Adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution.
  • Allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise allocations and make adjustments for qualifying legislation.
  • Focuses on protecting United States communities from fentanyl, opioids, and the illegal trafficking of firearms to criminal organizations in Mexico.
  • Requires that any resulting legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
